Do You Need a Permit for Your Warrensburg Outdoor Kitchen?

The City of Warrensburg's Community Development Department requires separate trade permits for gas and electrical work on an outdoor kitchen, regardless of whether the structure itself needs a building permit — and adding any roof over the kitchen adds a full building permit on top of that. The city adopted its current 2024 building and electrical codes in January 2025, so this work has to be performed by a licensed professional and inspected before it's considered complete. We handle the gas and electrical permitting as part of every job, but knowing the requirement before you start planning saves a redesign later.
