   Contact Troy Mills, the county building inspector, and describe your project to request the building permit application and any required checklists.

   Prepare Kentucky Building Code-compliant drawings (typically by an architect or engineer) and gather any zoning approvals if the work touches municipal limits.
3. 03
   Submit the complete package to the inspector, pay the valuation-based fees, and submit to state plan review if required.
4. 04
   After state and county reviews, the inspector issues the permit copies and you schedule the required inspections with him.

Typical processing time: State plan review can take six to eight weeks or more.
