Callaway County, MO

Callaway County does not have a dedicated Building/Permitting department for unincorporated areas.

How permitting works in Missouri

In Missouri, the county's role is strictly limited by its legal "class." Only First and Second-class counties (typically the most populated) have the inherent authority to issue building permits; for the rest of the state, the county has no role in structural permitting, leaving the task entirely to incorporated cities.

Limited to specific County classes; Cities dominant.
