The City’s new permitting and licensing software, Enterprise Permitting & Licensing (EPL) is now live.
The International Code Council series of building codes, including the International Building Code, International Residential Code, and International Fire Code become effective within the City on July 1, 2013. All permit applications received on or after that date will be reviewed and inspected for compliance with the 2012 codes as amended by the City of Lawrence.

Energy Conservation
The International Residential Code is amended with a new Appendix Chapter R to offer an alternative compliance method for energy conservation standards for dwellings. Each of the compliance methods for energy conservation requires air leakage testing and/or Home Energy Ratings System (HERS) evaluation for dwellings.
Energy Conservation Specialists performing testing or rating services must be approved by the City. A request for approval form is provided for these agencies or individuals to become registered with the City.
