Grant County

County materials show permits for erecting, adding to, remodeling, removing, or demolishing structures and for listed project types including residences, modular homes, pole barns, garages, sheds, signs, pools, docks, decks, and cell towers.

Note: No general county exemption list was publicly posted on the county building page or permit form.

Building code

Uniform Kentucky Building Code. Kentucky DHBC public pages currently reference the 2018 Kentucky Building Code and 2018 Kentucky Residential Code as the operative state codes.

Permit validity

Certificate of occupancy required before occupancy is stated on the county application. No county expiration schedule was publicly posted on the county page.

Owner-builder

Application must be signed by the owner or lessee.

Contractor requirements

No separate county contractor license requirement was publicly posted. County contact sheet shows state inspectors for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, elevator, and manufactured housing, so state trade licensing and inspection still apply.
