Taylor 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.

For state building jurisdiction, contact Dale Henderson at 270-849-7409 and use the Kentucky DHBC SmartGov portal. Contact the Taylor County Judge Executive/Fiscal Court at 270-465-7729 for local-authority routing. Electrical: Christopher A.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Kentucky's current statewide code references include the 2018 Kentucky Building Code and 2018 Kentucky Residential Code based on the 2015 IBC/IRC, plus applicable mechanical, energy, fire, plumbing, electrical, accessibility, boiler, manufactured-housing, elevator, and NFPA requirements. Taylor County's current DHBC roster routes building-code coverage to the state building inspector; the local electrical inspectors handle listed local electrical jurisdiction. No current Taylor County-specific minor or cosmetic exemption list was verified. Because the current DHBC roster does not list a local building inspector, confirm repairs, agricultural structures, accessory work, manufactured housing, and residential or commercial construction with DHBC and the Fiscal Court before beginning.
