Cleveland, Missouri
Cleveland is a western Cass County city of 650 people, platted in 1890 as Maxwell and renamed for President Grover Cleveland. Not that Cleveland: this one trades a lakefront skyline for city-run water and sewer, a Main Street City Hall and the Midway R-I School District.

City rules
Can I do that in Cleveland?
The questions buyers ask before the fence goes up, from Cleveland code, permit pages and local reporting. Rules change and HOA covenants can be stricter, so confirm with the city before you build.
Chickens
Hens are allowed; roosters, turkeys, peacocks and guinea fowl are not. Coops must be in the rear yard, at least 10 feet from the property line and 40 feet from any neighboring home, no taller than 8 feet, with 2 to 4 square feet per bird. Renters need the owner’s written consent.
Pet limits
A household may keep no more than four dogs and four cats. Dogs over 180 days old need a $5 city license each year plus a current rabies tag, and must be leashed off the owner’s property. Certain breeds and exotic animals are prohibited, so confirm with City Hall.
Livestock
Cows, horses, goats and sheep are allowed only on land zoned Agricultural or Rural Residential; hogs (other than qualifying pot-bellied pigs), stallions and jacks are not allowed.
Fireworks
Fireworks may be set off only from three days before to three days after July 4, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., or until midnight on July 4 and on Fridays and Saturdays in that window. Bottle rockets are banned at all times.
Fences, decks and sheds
The city has building permit forms for fences, decks and accessory structures such as garages and carports, so pull a permit before you build. Call City Hall at (816) 829-4012 to confirm requirements.
Accessory buildings
A note in the city’s development code index says no more than two accessory structures are allowed per residence; confirm with City Hall before adding a shed or garage.
Trash and bulk items
Residents must use the city-contracted hauler, WM, and recycling is required for residential customers. One bulk item can go out free on the first pickup day of each month if you call WM at 800-964-8988 first; appliances need a scheduled pickup and an extra fee.
Lawn/weed height
Cleveland treats grass and weeds 12 inches or taller as a nuisance, and the city gives owners at least 10 days’ notice to cut them. Fines within a 12-month period run $200 for a first violation, $275 for a second, $350 for a third and $450 after that.
Inoperable vehicles
Storing junk, wrecked, unlicensed or inoperable vehicles outdoors is a nuisance in Cleveland unless the vehicle is fully enclosed in a locked building and can’t be seen from neighboring property. Tarps or other temporary coverings on a building’s exterior can stay up for no more than 30 days, with one possible 30-day extension.
Building permits
Cleveland has adopted the 2018 International Building and Residential Codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code. A new home needs a building permit with one complete set of plans, a $50 non-refundable application fee that is credited toward the permit fee, and a series of inspections ending with a final inspection before occupancy. The application expires after 180 days if work doesn’t start, and any inspection needed more than twice costs a $75 re-inspection fee.
Septic/sewer
New homes in Cleveland pay a $2,000 sewer hookup fee and a $3,000 water hookup fee when the water/sewer permit is issued, plus $1,500 more if street boring is needed. Before digging, contractors meet with the city to pick the service line route, and the city inspects the open trench before it is backfilled.
Solar
Installing solar panels in Cleveland requires a city building permit with a $50 application fee, which is credited toward the permit fee but not refunded. The application expires after 180 days if work doesn’t start, and starting work without a permit violates city ordinance.
Home businesses
Home occupations must use less than 25% of the home’s floor area, may have no more than one non-resident worker, allow visitors only 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and allow no exterior storage or display; on-site signs are not allowed outside A and RR districts. Some uses (restaurants, medical offices, vet clinics and others) are prohibited, and the city fee is $25 (UDO Section 5.3).
Pools
A city permit is required to build or alter any fence, including a pool fence, and fences protecting swimming pools must be repaired within 30 days (UDO Section 5.8). Some small prefabricated pools accessory to a home are exempt from a building permit (UDO Section 7.1); check the size limits with City Hall.
Noise
Unreasonably loud or raucous noise is prohibited, and construction noise audible beyond the property is not allowed before 7 a.m. or after 10 p.m. without a permit from the Mayor. Exterior alarms must stop within 15 minutes (Ordinance No. 014-0011).
ATVs and golf carts
ATVs, utility vehicles and golf carts may be driven on city streets by a licensed driver with proof of insurance, a day-glow safety flag at least 7 feet high, and headlight and taillight at night; they may not use state or federal highways except to cross (Ordinance No. 17-0010).
Truck and trailer parking
In residential zones, trucks, tractors and trailers over one-ton capacity may not be parked except while making deliveries; recreational vehicles are excluded from this limit (Unified Development Ordinance Section 8.1(I)(4)).
Driveways
New construction in residential districts platted after the Unified Development Ordinance was adopted must have concrete drives and parking, unless the Board of Aldermen grants a waiver (Section 8.1(E)(1)). Customary driveways for single-family and duplex homes do not need a separate parking permit (Section 8.1(A)(4)).
Signs
“For sale” and “for rent” signs on property do not need a sign permit (UDO Sec. 9.4(C)(2)); most other signs need a permit from the City (Sec. 9.4(A)). Political signs may not go on utility poles, fence posts, fences, trees or the sides of buildings (Sec. 9.4(C)(3)(a)), and home occupation signs in residential districts are limited to one unlit sign of 2 square feet (Sec. 9.3).
Sidewalks
In new residential developments, a sidewalk must be built on at least one side of the street before a certificate of occupancy is issued, though the City may waive or modify the requirement or accept a payment in lieu of construction (UDO Sec. 6.6(A)).
Beekeeping
Apiaries are listed as a permitted use in the A (Agricultural) district (UDO Sec. 4.2(A)(4)). The UDO sets no separate beekeeping standards for residential lots, so check with City Hall before keeping bees in town.
Junk and debris in yards
Cleveland’s nuisance abatement ordinance (Ordinance No. 024-0010, Section 1, item 2(b), passed Sept. 17, 2024) declares refuse, waste or debris of any kind, derelict appliances, broken furniture, and cut, fallen or hazardous trees and shrubs on a property to be a nuisance the city can order abated.
Roof tarps and temporary coverings
Tarps, tarpaper and other temporary protective coverings may stay up no more than 30 days; the Building Official may grant one 30-day extension if a repair plan is submitted within the first 30 days, and nothing may stay more than 90 days without the Building Official’s permission (Ordinance No. 024-0010, Section 2).
House numbers
Cleveland’s Unified Development Ordinance requires the street address to be posted at each driveway entrance, with numbers at least 4 inches high and a stroke width of at least 0.5 inch (UDO Section 7.1(N), Addressing Standards).
Retaining walls
Retaining walls not over four feet tall, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, do not need a building permit; taller walls need a permit unless the building official waives it based on location and wall type (UDO Section 7.1 G(d)(1)).
Antennas and towers
Privately owned antennas or towers under 50 feet tall, amateur radio antennas and receive-only satellite dishes are exempt from the tower rules; any other tower needs a Conditional Use Permit, is allowed only in the A and CH districts, and must be set back at least 200 feet or the tower’s height (UDO Section 5.5).
Moving in
Cleveland utility providers
Who to call to turn things on. Providers can vary by address, so confirm before closing.
