What We Do

The Clay County Planning & Zoning Department administers and oversees all aspects of planning, development, and construction activities on land. Rezonings, Subdivisions, Conditional Use Permits (CUPS), Building Permits, Floodplain Development Permits (FDP), and various other activities are all handled by the Planning & Zoning Department.

We strongly encourage property owners, agents, and all others involved in real estate to contact us at (816) 407-3380 or E-Mail if you have any questions related to your land or buildings.

Our Jurisdiction
