Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
N/A. No county building or floodplain review timeline was published.
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.
Application documents
Before submission, call 620-273-6423 (County Clerk); 620-273-6589 ext. 232 (Emergency Preparedness and Sanitation); 620-794-5053 (county sanitarian, listed on wastewater application) if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.
Project questions
This record is marked Municipal Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 620-273-6423 (County Clerk); 620-273-6589 ext. 232 (Emergency Preparedness and Sanitation); 620-794-5053 (county sanitarian, listed on wastewater application).
N/A. No county building or floodplain review timeline was published.
For floodplain work, contact the Kansas Department of Water Resources before applying, then submit the completed Floodplain Development Permit Application to the County Floodplain Manager; the application requires project, flood-map, elevation, and other-agency permit information and allows inspection. For private wastewater, submit the county wastewater application and coordinate inspection with the Sanitarian at 620-794-5053. Contact the relevant city for ordinary building inspections inside city limits.
Chase County's official commissioners page states that the county has no zoning requirements or building permits outside city limits. County-level floodplain development follows the Floodplain Management Ordinance and Kansas requirements in K.S.A. 12-766 and K.A.R. 5-44-1 through 5-44-7; no countywide 2026 technical building-code edition was identified. Outside city limits, ordinary building permits and zoning requirements are not required under the county's published statement, so there is no county minor/cosmetic exemption schedule. Floodplain development still requires county-level review; the floodplain form says elevation certificates may not be required for minor projects such as a new culvert, and lists excavation, culverts, and parking lots as projects that do not require elevation certificates. City rules apply inside municipal limits.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
