Logan County permit authority
The first compliance decision is jurisdictional: identify the office with statutory authority over your parcel, then use its filing and inspection sequence to keep the project moving.
Jurisdictional status
Municipal Fallback
This profile identifies a handoff outside the county’s ordinary structural permitting lane.
Required jurisdiction check
Confirm the controlling local or state authority before filing.
The record is marked Municipal Fallback. That means the county profile should be treated as a routing brief: incorporated municipalities, a state building department, or a state fire marshal may control plan review, permits, and inspections. Contact the named agency below and verify the parcel’s jurisdiction before paying a fee or scheduling field work.

Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact 785-671-3611 (City of Oakley); Logan County Courthouse: 785-671-4244.
How long might review take?
A permit application is reviewed for a minimum of 24 hours before approval; commercial plan review depends on plan complexity. Approved permits remain valid for up to 180 days from issuance, and become void if work is not started or is suspended/abandoned for 180 days.
How are inspections scheduled?
All inspections are coordinated by the City Building Inspector, with project documentation retained by the City Clerk. Listed inspections include stakeout/footing, foundation, underground plumbing, rough building, sewer and gas lines, electrical service, and final inspection before occupancy. New construction and additions require lot staking at least 72 hours before work; contact the City Office at 785-671-3611.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
The current June 2026 application identifies the City’s adopted codes as the 1991 Uniform Building Code (Ord. 867), National Electrical Code (edition not restated on the 2026 sheet; the municipal code identifies the 2002 edition under Ord. 972), and Uniform Plumbing Code (Ord. 868; the municipal code identifies the 1991 edition). These are Oakley municipal codes and were not verified as countywide Logan County codes. Oakley’s 2026 information sheet says cosmetic work such as re-shingling, wallpapering, painting, new cabinets, sidewalks, and gutter work does not require a permit; the City page separately says siding on homes does not require one. The 2026 sheet says no permit fees are charged for structures under 120 square feet, while the fee page lists $5 for fences and construction under 120 square feet; applicants should confirm the applicable treatment with the City Office.
