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 Logan County and routes building-code permitting to the state. DHBC enforces the 2018 Kentucky Building Code and 2018 Kentucky Residential Code, based on the 2015 IBC/IRC with Kentucky amendments. For counties without a single-family inspection program, site-built single-family homes must still meet the KRC, while building inspections are generally limited to required mechanical and electrical inspections. No newer 2026 KBC or KRC adoption was verified. No Logan County-specific minor or cosmetic building exemption list was published on the verified official pages. Kentucky's statewide framework still requires KRC compliance for applicable site-built single-family homes even without a local inspection program; ordinary maintenance and narrow code exceptions may be exempt, but commercial, structural, manufactured-housing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, septic, and floodplain work should be confirmed with DHBC or the relevant city/county office.
