ADU Design in Missouri: what governs your project
Missouri has no statewide ADU statute; ADU rules are set by cities and counties. Kansas City and St. Louis have their own frameworks; rules elsewhere vary.
Energy code
Permitting is local, covering zoning review, setbacks, and building code compliance. Impact and utility fees, size caps, and owner-occupancy requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Permitting & plan check
Plan review is local: St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, and county departments run full review under locally adopted codes. Missouri has no mandatory statewide building code, so rural jurisdictions may have minimal requirements.

- The New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–12 remain the largest historic seismic events in the central United States.
