Green 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
State 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 State 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.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?
The current DHBC assignment lists no local building inspector for Green County and assigns state building inspector Dale Henderson. The applicable statewide framework is the 2018 Kentucky Building Code and 2018 Kentucky Residential Code, based on the 2015 IBC/IRC with Kentucky amendments. No newer 2026 KBC or KRC adoption was verified; DHBC announced July 2026 NEC updates for electrical work. No current Green County-specific list of minor or cosmetic building-permit exemptions was published. Confirm ordinary maintenance, small accessory structures, agricultural or farmstead work, manufactured housing, and other potentially exempt projects with DHBC before beginning; electrical, plumbing, HVAC, septic, floodplain, and any municipal zoning requirements may be separate.
