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