Kansas vs. Missouri notes
On the Missouri side permits go through CompassKC. On the Kansas side it depends on the city: KCK through the Unified Government, and Overland Park, Lenexa and Bonner Springs through their own building departments. We handle the paperwork on jobs that need a permit. Residential labor is not taxed in either state.
