What people build around Hopkinsville
Hopkinsville is the seat of Christian County, which runs south to the Tennessee line at Fort Campbell.
Garages & carports
Detached garages, storage buildings and carports all go through the same permit application.
Acreage shops
Tubular steel is usually the answer for an unfinished shop under sixty feet wide.
Farm buildings
Equipment and grain storage goes up across the county. Red iron takes over past eighty feet or for combine doors.
Finished space
Steel truss is the fit here. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.
Permitted commercial work often suits cold-formed steel, with a finished eave standard. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting metal buildings in Hopkinsville and Christian County
Community and Development Services is the one stop for zoning and building permits, in town and out.
City and county
- Every construction project in Hopkinsville and Christian County needs a building permit.
- The application goes in with two sets of construction plans.
- It asks for the building’s size, height, stories, cost and whether it will block natural drainage.
Inside Hopkinsville
- The permit has to be posted where it can be seen from the street.
- The city charges a penalty when it isn’t.
Farm & engineering
- Farm buildings that serve the farm are exempt from the state code outside city limits.
- Occupied buildings are Risk Category II wherever they sit.
- We run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your address and provide the drawings your permit needs.
Start with the zoning check. Community and Development Services asks you to confirm the site is properly zoned before anything else. On rural ground, that’s also the time to settle whether the building qualifies for the farm exemption.
We also serve Oak Grove, Pembroke, Crofton and Cadiz. See Madisonville, western Kentucky or all of Kentucky.
