KCMO reaffirmed its willingness to outsource its regulatory authority by maintaining the effective date of the IECC on July 1. This video explains how the 2021 IECC adoption process was manipulated by national special interest groups. kchba.org/kcmo-reaffirms…

Once again, Kansas City, Mo., did not make the top five of permitting cities in April or May. In fact, permitting in KCMO has hit a low not seen in the last 5 years. Yikes. #homeownershipforall #kchba #kansascity

KCMO continues to fall behind the rest of the region in terms of housing permits. If only there was a way to fix this… (Hint: file:///R:/Governmental%20Affairs/Local%20Municipalities%20&%20Entities/KCMO/2024/Ordinance%20Text.pdf.) #homeownershipforall #kchba #kansascity

Since January 2023, 98 builders have pulled permits in KCMO. Of those builders, only 12 have pulled permits under the new code. This equates to an 88% decrease in builder activity. But don’t worry, I’m sure it will get better if KCMO maintains the status quo...said no one ever.

Energy efficiency AND affordability are critical components to KCMO’s initiatives to make KC a great place to live now and in the future. Ordinance #240434 (R409) balances those goals. #HomeOwnershipForAll #kchba #kansascity

“For young adults just starting their careers, the one-two punch of higher home prices and higher mortgage rates can make homeownership feel impossible,” according to a recent Marketplace article. Why is KCMO making it even harder to buy a home?marketplace.org/2024/06/14/hou…
