Do You Need a Permit to Install Gutters in Kansas City, MO?
No. The City of Kansas City lists installation or replacement of exterior gutters and downspouts as work that does not require a building permit. The work must still comply with the city's zoning and development code and building and rehabilitation code. Separately, Kansas City Ordinance No. 150452 prohibits connecting downspouts or sump pumps directly to the sanitary sewer.
