The Olathe Fire Department - Building Codes Division is in place to administer and enforce building codes and ordinances established by both city, state, and federal agencies. 

Building Codes provide safeguards in providing standards for the protection of life, limb, health, environment, public safety and welfare, and for the conservation of energy in the design and construction of buildings and structures.  Whether in our homes, offices, schools, factories or places of entertainment, we rely on the safety of structures that surround us in everyday living.

WHAT'S NEW IN BUILDING CODES

POLICY CHANGE - PROOF OF CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE AND LISTED PERMITTEES

As of February 21, 2012 the Building Codes Division will require all Johnson County licensed contractors and the subcontractors to fill out and sign a Contractor/Subcontractor Permit Commitment Form and provide a photo copy of their Johnson County Contractor license and driver license or other government issued photo ID of the licensed permittee prior to issuance of the permit.
