Commercial Construction and Development

If your project involves construction or renovating a space, there are additional steps to consider.

Commercial construction in Kentucky must follow the Kentucky Building Code and go through the appropriate permitting and inspection process.

Requirements

Depending on the scope and location of your project, these requirements may include:

  • state permits
  • local permits, if the project is within city limits
  • electrical, plumbing, and HVAC approvals
  • inspections throughout the project

The Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet also provides an application guide for commercial building construction.

For HVAC-related information, visit the Division of HVAC through the Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet.
