Licenses
Contractors licenses are required for contractors wishing to do
business in the city of Hugoton. There are four types: mechanical, building,
electrical, and plumbing. These licenses cost $50.00 annually payable to the
City of Hugoton. To obtain an annual license, the contractor must show proof of
insurance ($250,000 liability) to the City Building Inspector.
Permits
The Building Inspector is responsible for issuing permits for
construction projects, electrical work, plumbing, underground sprinkler systems,
the installation of new mobile homes, and various other projects.
These permits may be obtained at the City Office at 631 S. Main during regular business hours.
The fees for these permits vary according to the type and size
of the project.
Inspections
As the progress of a project takes place, the Building Inspector
must check different stages of the project before proceeding to the next stage.
To schedule an inspection, call the City Office at 620-544-8531, and speak to
Vernon Anderson.
When installing a mobile home on a lot that is not established, the gas
lines, plumbing, and electrical work must be inspected prior to service. The
proper permits and procedures must have taken place before electric and water
service will begin.
For specific questions regarding licenses, permits, and
inspections, contact the Building Inspector at the City Office during regular
business hours.
