The City of Cassville is reaching out to the community to answer questions after reported confusion regarding building permits. Cassville’s building inspector Keith Speer said, “Many residents are unaware of the building permit process within the Cassville City limits.”
The city’s building permit process has been long-standing and is based on industry standards. Projects that require a permit within city limits include: structural issues such as roof, decks, major remodels and new construction.
The city released the following statement: “The mayor and city council want to assure citizens of the city that the permit process is in place to protect them and not to hinder their efforts to build or remodel. The purpose of the permit is to allow the inspector to assure setbacks are maintained and utility interruptions are kept to a minimum.”
Building permits can be obtained at Cassville City Hall for a nominal fee. The city emphasized that building and remodeling is encouraged.
Speer added, “In cases where complications arise, we will work with the contractor and property owner to get the project completed in a safe and cost effective manner.”
For more information, questions about what requires a permit or to start the permit process, call Speer (417) 847-7837.
