City permitting reference

How permitting works in Louisville

Building permits in Louisville-Jefferson County are issued by the Department of Codes & Regulations (C&R) under the Kentucky Building Code (KBC, based on IBC). Since the 2003 city-county merger, a single permitting entity covers the entire metro. The Land Development Code (LDC) governs zoning; historic Preservation Districts (Old Louisville, Butchertown, Germantown) require Louisville Metro Planning Commission (LMPC) review. FEMA flood overlays are significant along the Ohio River and its tributaries. Permits are submitted through the Louisville ePermits portal.
