Shed Permit Requirements in Beloit, KS
Beloit is the Mitchell County seat and runs its own permit program. The City Code Enforcement Officer enforces zoning, building code, and permits out of City Hall at 119 N Hersey. The city code (current through Ord. 2386, Jan 21 2026) adopts the 2003 IRC for one- and two-family dwellings and the 2003 IBC by reference, along with separate electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fuel gas code articles. Permit application forms live on the Forms and Permits page, but the actual PDF list and fee schedule load via a JavaScript CMS and were not directly extractable, so applicants should call 785-738-3551.
