The 500-year floodplain is the potential flood area that has a .2% probability of occurring in any given year. It is an area that is not regulated by floodplain regulations and therefore building is permitted provided all other requirements of the County Zoning & Subdivision Regulations are met. One should always keep in mind that any area, even those outside of designated floodplains, can still flood. Even though the probability of such occurrences in these areas is generally lower, there can always be micro events and unusual circumstances that may occur to cause localized flooding of any property. For more information about the floodplain, please contact

Riley County requires a building permit, but does not enforce building codes. During a building permit inspection the primary concern is making a determination that the building is set back the proper distances from all property lines. The inspector does not examine how the building is being constructed. Most counties in Kansas do not have building codes, however, a number are considering adoption of a minimum code. Consult a qualified contractor or building professional regarding industry standard construction techniques and proper installation of electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. The respective cities within the County vary regarding their building code requirements. Check with the individual city before starting construction. |
