How long might review take?
N/A. No general county or Jetmore building-permit review timeline was published.
How are inspections scheduled?
N/A. No countywide inspection schedule or booking procedure was published. Jetmore’s code assigns inspection duties for certain specialized permits to city officials; contact the Jetmore City Office at 620-357-8344 for a project-specific determination.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
N/A. The verified current public materials do not identify a specific 2026 technical building-code edition for Hodgeman County. A Kansas code-adoption survey lists no county building code, but that source is not a current county ordinance. N/A. No countywide minor/cosmetic building-permit exemption list was identified. Jetmore’s code requires an application and approval for mobile-home placement and contains separate permits for moving buildings, sidewalks, excavations, antennas, and other specialized work.
