Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
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 Taylor County or DHBC project-specific review timeline was published.
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.

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. Bennett at 270-378-1036 or Coy Neat at 270-469-9347; state electrical: Don Cravens at 606-391-5531. HVAC: Jason DeMurray at 270-283-1042.

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.
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.
