Communities › Cass County › Archie, MO
Archie, Missouri
Archie sits in southern Cass County just off I-49 (U.S. 71), about 11 miles south of Harrisonville, with roughly 1,270 residents and a City Hall on Main Street. It also has a claim few towns its size can make: a piece of the 1932 Archie meteorite is held by the Smithsonian, so the town has literally made it into the national collection.

City rules
Can I do that in Archie?
The questions buyers ask before the fence goes up, from Archie code, permit pages and local reporting. Rules change and HOA covenants can be stricter, so confirm with the city before you build.
Chickens and backyard animals
Up to ten hens per household are allowed in one coop of no more than 200 square feet, kept in the back or a secluded side yard and never in the front yard. Roosters, other fowl and livestock such as cattle, goats, pigs and horses are prohibited, and exotic animals other than dogs and cats are not allowed.
Portable storage containers
A permit from City Hall is required to place a portable storage unit, which may stay up to 90 days in any 12-month period and cannot exceed 20 x 8 x 9 feet. Units cannot go on city streets or in the right-of-way, and long-term storage in residential districts is not allowed.
Trash and yard waste
Trash service is mandatory inside city limits and is collected Wednesdays by Countywide Disposal, with carts curbside before 6 a.m. Yard trimmings, limbs, appliances and construction materials are not accepted; bulky pickup is $25 per item, scheduled with the hauler.
Burning
The city FAQ says burning trash and leaves inside city limits is not allowed at this time due to dry conditions in the county. Confirm with City Hall before any burn.
Building permits
The city’s Building Permits and Inspections Department permits all construction, using a permit application returned to City Hall. Confirm with City Hall at (816) 293-5601 whether a fence, shed or other project needs a permit.
Parking near the school
Ordinance No. 372 bans parking at all times on certain streets near the school, including N. Iowa Street from A Highway to Redwood Street, and Redwood Street.
Lawn height and weeds
Archie’s nuisance ordinance (Ordinance 299) treats weeds and grass 12 inches or taller, and noxious weeds or rank vegetation over 8 inches, as a nuisance the owner, renter or occupant must cut. If the city does the work, the cost plus a $100 administrative fee can go on a special tax bill against the property, and each day the violation continues is a separate offense.
RV, boat and trailer storage
Under Ordinance 299, a boat, trailer, camper trailer or RV that is unlicensed, unregistered, wrecked, partly dismantled or not running counts as a junked vehicle and a nuisance anywhere in city limits. Any vehicle left in the same spot on a street for more than 72 hours also qualifies, and the city can act if the owner does not fix it within 10 days of notice.
Dog houses and clotheslines
Archie’s nuisance ordinance bars clothes, clotheslines and dog houses from the front yard of a residential property. Keep them in the side or back yard.
Water and sewer billing
Archie’s monthly city utility bill includes water, sewer and trash. Water costs a $27.00 minimum for the first 1,000 gallons and $23.00 per additional thousand gallons. Bills are due on the 15th by 4:30 p.m., late fees apply on the 16th, and shutoffs happen on the 26th.
Business licenses
Archie requires city business licenses and permits, which you get in person at City Hall, 204 S. Main Street, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The business license ordinance (No. 326) was amended in May 2025 by Ordinance No. 375 to add peddler’s licenses.
Noise and quiet hours
Ordinance 299, Section 6 bans unreasonably loud noise and caps sound at a residential property line at 60 dB(A) by day and 55 dB(A) at night (night starts 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday, ending 6:59 a.m.); car stereos plainly audible at 50 feet off private property are prohibited. Construction and maintenance are exempt from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., as is occasional household use of mowers, chainsaws and generators; violations carry up to a $500 fine.
Junked and unlicensed vehicles
Under Ordinance 299, Section 1, any wrecked, partially dismantled, inoperable, unlicensed or unregistered vehicle, boat, trailer, camper or RV in city limits is a nuisance, as is a vehicle left at the same spot on a roadway more than 72 hours. After notice, the owner has 10 days to fix it before the city may tow it and bill the cost plus a $100 administrative fee.
Outdoor storage of appliances and furniture
Ordinance 299, Section 4 bars leaving appliances, tires and rims, scrap metal, indoor furniture or vehicle parts outside a home where they can be seen from off the property; stacked lumber is allowed only with an active building permit. ATVs and motorcycles may not be kept on an unenclosed front porch, and trash carts may sit at the curb no more than 24 hours before and 48 hours after pickup.
Trees over streets and sidewalks
Ordinance 299, Section 3 requires owners to trim private trees so branches clear 9 feet above sidewalks and 12 feet above streets, and to remove dead or unsafe trees that threaten public ways or neighbors. After notice, failure to act is a misdemeanor with up to a $500 fine per day, and the city may hire the work out and add the cost to the property tax bill.
Exotic animals and livestock
Ordinance 342 (amending Ordinance 336) prohibits livestock such as cattle, horses, goats and pigs inside city limits except as the city’s zoning and land use ordinances permit, and bans exotic animals (defined as all animals not otherwise addressed in the ordinance), with dogs and cats excepted. Violations carry a fine of up to $500 and/or up to 90 days in jail (Section 4).
Standing water and pests
Under Nuisance Ordinance 299, Section 1.B(10), any accumulation of stagnant water kept on a lot is a nuisance, and Section 1.B(3) makes any condition that harbors rats, mice, snakes or other vermin a nuisance. Each day a violation continues is a separate offense, with fines up to $500.
Dilapidated buildings and cleanup costs
Ordinance 299, Section 1.B(4), makes a building unfit for habitation, unsanitary or a more-than-ordinary fire hazard a nuisance; owners may request a hearing within 10 days of a notice. If the city abates a nuisance, its costs plus a $100 administrative fee go on a special tax bill against the property, and a repair or demolition tax bill can be paid in 12 equal monthly installments without interest if requested before it is recorded.
Vehicle racing, dust and exhaust
Dust, noise, fumes or odors from motor vehicles or racing that cross property lines and interfere with neighbors’ use of their property are a public nuisance; the city may issue a written warning first, and the city attorney may seek a court injunction (Ordinance No. 299, Section 5).

Archie history, jobs and parks
A little history
Archie was platted in 1880, and a post office has operated there since that year. The town is named for Archie Talmadge, a child of a railroad official.

The War Veterans Memorial obelisk was built in 2003-2005 with local donations.
Where people work
Data USA counted 571 employed Archie residents in 2024, with manufacturing (113), construction (78) and health care and social assistance (57) the largest industries. The average commute is 27.6 minutes, and many residents drive I-49 toward Harrisonville and the Kansas City metro.

Does trash need to be bagged in Archie?
Yes. The city asks residents to bag all trash before it goes into the cart, because Countywide Disposal’s in-town truck uses an automated arm and loose trash can miss the truck or blow away.

Does Archie allow data centers?
Archie is still working on rules. At its September 1, 2026 meeting, Planning and Zoning discussed draft data center regulations, including a special use permit, noise limits with acoustical monitoring, setbacks from homes and schools, closed-loop or dry cooling, and proof that the power grid and water supply can support a facility.

Call City Hall at (816) 293-5601 for the current status.
What day is trash picked up in Archie?
Wednesday is the regular trash pickup day. If New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas falls on a Wednesday, pickup moves to the next day.
Can I keep exotic pets or livestock inside Archie city limits?
Generally no. Ordinance 342 bans exotic animals other than dogs and cats, and prohibits livestock such as cattle, horses, goats and pigs except as the city’s zoning and land use ordinances permit.
Do I need a city permit to add a driveway entrance or dig in the street right-of-way in Archie?

A new driveway culvert needs a separate culvert permit ($200 non-refundable, applied for in person at City Hall); the owner buys the pipe, city crews install it, and it must go in within 30 days of the permit.
How do I get City of Archie alerts and news notices?
Use the Sign Up for Alerts form on the City of Archie website (cityofarchie.org) to get city alerts and News & Notices, such as water shutoffs and street closures. City Hall, 204 S. Main Street, can also be reached at (816) 293-5601.

Does Archie have a city park?
Yes. Hodges Park is the city park, with a playground and a basketball court. The city maintains it and posts notices when it closes the park for weed spraying or maintenance.
Why is my Archie tap water milky, or my water pressure low?
The City of Archie’s FAQ says a recent water line repair can let air into the line, which makes the water look milky. For low pressure, the city says to check your meter and the area around it for leaks, then call the city office at (816) 293-5601 to report it.
Does Archie have rules for golf carts or UTVs on city streets?
