Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Park City, Kentucky

Rules another office applies inside Park City

Park City does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Who permits septicMixed (with conditions)

  • Local health departments issue the on-site sewage disposal permit and perform the final installation inspection.
