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 current London or Laurel County building-permit review timeline was published on the verified official pages.
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.

Contact Josh Wilson at 606-864-8401 or Dan Pruett at 606-224-5808 during 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. for London building inspections. The application requires the owner or contractor to notify the Building Inspector when a new or altered structure or new use is ready for final inspection; sidewalks, decks, porches, parking, and grading must be complete, and electrical, plumbing, and HVAC approval certificates must be submitted before a certificate of occupancy. State building inspector Dillon Fields is 606-312-9428; state manufactured-housing inspector Mark Pruitt is 606-224-7464; state electrical inspector Anisa Ross is 606-278-4383; elevator Benjamin Pennington is 502-234-8725; HVAC Joey Pratt is 606-671-7130; plumbing Mike Doolin is 606-622-7666 or 606-862-1297 at Laurel County Health Department, 525 Whitley Street, London, Monday/Wednesday/Friday 8:00-9:30 a.m.; and boiler David Miller is 606-594-8146.
The current local building page directs projects to the City of London Building Division, and the current DHBC county assignment lists London’s local building inspector with Dillon Fields as state building inspector. Kentucky’s current 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. The City of London’s current building page identifies vinyl siding, replacement windows, painting, and shingle replacement as examples that do not require permitting. New construction, additions, or moving a structure over 120 square feet; changing a building’s use; or affecting a load-bearing wall requires advance contact with DHBC/building officials. Confirm whether a project is inside London city limits and whether zoning, trade, floodplain, or health approvals are separately required.
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.
