City rules
Can I do that in Gladstone?
The questions buyers ask before the fence goes up, from Gladstone code, permit pages and local reporting. Rules change and HOA covenants can be stricter, so confirm with the city before you build.
Fences
A building permit is required for fences and fence walls; fences up to 6 feet high are excepted. Front-yard fences must be open, picketed styles with at least 4 inches of open spacing, and chain link is allowed only in side and rear yards. Barbed wire, razor wire, electric fences, and cinder block are prohibited, and fences may not be placed in a stormwater easement or floodplain.
Sheds and detached garages
Any detached accessory structure needs a building permit, plus a land disturbance permit if it is over 200 sq ft. You get 250 sq ft of accessory structure per 3,000 sq ft of lot, capped at 1,200 sq ft total and two structures per lot. Setbacks are 35 feet from the front property line (never in front of the house), 25 feet on a street side, and 9 feet from rear and interior side lines.
Swimming pools
Pools deeper than 24 inches need a building permit. Outdoor pools must be surrounded by a barrier at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates that stay locked when not in use. Pools must sit at least 10 feet from side and rear lines (15 feet on a corner side), 35 feet from the front line, never in the front yard, and not in easements or under overhead lines.
Dogs
Any dog over six months old must be licensed, with proof of current rabies vaccination. Dogs must be on a leash, chained to an immovable object, or kept in an enclosed fence; electronic fences are allowed for non-dangerous dogs but not in front yards, and a sign must be posted.
Fireworks
Gladstone prohibits the possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling, and use of fireworks within city limits.
Home businesses
A home-based business needs a city Occupation License ($30 flat plus 30 cents per $1,000 of gross receipts) and a Home Occupation form. Only household members who live in the home may work in the business, it may use no more than 25 percent of the home’s floor area, and customers may not come to the home, with no business signs, outdoor storage, commercial vehicle parking or commercial deliveries. A business that needs client visits can apply for a Special Use Permit ($500 deposit).
Trash service
Gladstone has no single citywide trash contract, so each household signs up with any licensed hauler that serves the area, such as Waste Management, Republic Services or Platte Valley Sanitation. Recycling usually comes bundled with the trash account, and pickup days and bulky-item options depend on the hauler.
Vehicle parking and repair
Vehicles may not be parked on the grass or block a city sidewalk, and inoperable or unlicensed vehicles may not be kept on the property. Vehicle repair at home is generally not allowed. You may have one vehicle for sale at a time, parked on a paved surface, with a limit of four sales per calendar year.
Yard upkeep, storage and compost
Grass and weeds may not grow taller than 7 inches. Keep personal property out of open-air storage, except firewood stacked neatly in the back yard and materials for a current project. One covered compost bin is allowed, up to 600 cubic feet and 4 feet tall, in the back yard and at least 5 feet from any property line. Burning yard waste and blowing clippings into the street are not allowed.
Garage sales
Gladstone requires a city garage sale permit before you hold a sale. Apply online through the city’s Garage Sale Permit application; approved sales are listed on the city’s Garage Sales page.
Snow removal
Property owners are responsible for clearing their own driveways, sidewalks and parking areas, and city code prohibits pushing snow from private property onto public streets; shovel it onto your yard instead. City crews start plowing at 3 inches or heavy slush, clearing designated snow routes first and cul-de-sacs last, and do not remove plowed snow left at driveway ends or mailboxes.
Open burning
Burning tree limbs or yard waste is not allowed in Gladstone under the city’s Property Maintenance and Nuisance Regulations (Chapter 1000). Bag, compost or haul yard debris instead.
ADUs
Gladstone’s R-1 zoning has no general accessory dwelling unit allowance; a home may have one private garage or quarters for household staff, and those quarters may be occupied only by staff employed on the property (Sec. 7.105.020(a)). Detached accessory buildings must sit at least 10 feet from the house, 60 feet from the front lot line and 8 feet from side and rear lines, and need a building permit. (Read from a third-party copy of the city code; confirm with City Hall.)
Lawn and weed height
Grass and weeds may not grow taller than 7 inches, and the City can abate overgrown lots under its property maintenance rules (Chapter 1000). Report violations or look up a case through Community Development.
Solar panels
Every solar system needs administrative plan approval from Community Development (Sec. 7.167.030). Roof panels cannot extend past the edge of the roof, ground-mounted panels must stay 1 foot from property lines and out of easements, and ground or pole-mounted systems are not allowed between the front of the house and the street in residential districts. Code text is from 2018, so confirm with City Hall. (Read from a third-party copy of the city code; confirm with City Hall.)
Large truck parking
Trucks larger than three-quarter ton may not be parked on property zoned R-1 through C-O, except inside an enclosed garage (Sec. 7.180.090). Front-yard parking is allowed only on the driveway, and residential parking areas must be paved with at least 3 inches of concrete or equivalent (Secs. 7.175.030 and 7.180.010). Code text is from 2018, so confirm with City Hall. (Read from a third-party copy of the city code; confirm with City Hall.)
Decks and porches
Unenclosed porches and decks may extend up to 10 feet into the required front yard setback and up to 15 feet into the rear yard setback, not counting stairs (Sec. 7.175.030). A building permit is still required. Code text is from 2018, so confirm with City Hall. (Read from a third-party copy of the city code; confirm with City Hall.)
Short-term rentals
A May 2025 Mid-America Regional Council survey lists short-term rentals such as Airbnb as prohibited in Gladstone. The city code’s Short Term Stay chapter (Chapter 205) covers hotels and extended-stay lodging only. Rules can change, so confirm with City Hall before listing a home.
Building permits
Gladstone Community Development issues residential permits for new homes, additions, remodeling, detached accessory structures, decks and porches, pools, reroofing and solar. Applicants submit a permit application, a site plan and a digital set of plans with a flat $50 residential plan review fee; review typically takes 3 to 5 days, and the permit fee is set by the city fee schedule. Questions: Community Development at (816) 423-4111.
Backyard chickens
Gladstone allows backyard fowl only with a Domesticated Fowl Permit, applied for through the Community Development Department at (816) 423-4111. The limits on bird numbers, roosters and coop placement are set in city code, so confirm them with City Hall before buying birds.
Beekeeping
Beekeeping on a residential lot requires a Residential Bee Keeping Permit from Gladstone Community Development. Confirm the hive limits and placement rules with City Hall at (816) 423-4111 before setting up hives.
Rental licensing
Gladstone Community Development keeps an apartment building registration application. Its permit page lists no rental license or rental inspection program for single-family homes, so confirm the rules with City Hall before renting out a house.
RV, boat and trailer parking
Gladstone’s residential property maintenance guidelines have no separate RV rule, but the general rules apply: vehicles must be licensed and operable, may not be parked on the grass or block the sidewalk, and unsheltered outdoor storage of personal property is prohibited. Confirm where you can keep an RV, camper, boat or trailer with Community Development before you buy.
House numbers
Your address must be legible and visible from the street, in a color that contrasts with the background. Numbers must be at least four inches high.
Selling a car from home
Only one vehicle may be for sale at a residence at a time, with a limit of four vehicle sales per calendar year. The vehicle must be parked on a paved surface, not on the grass.
Exterior upkeep
Siding, roofs, gutters, windows, doors, decks, porches and railings must be kept weather-tight, rodent-proof and in good repair under the city’s minimum building standards. Firewood stacked neatly in the backyard and materials for a current project are allowed outside.
Outdoor lighting
Home light fixtures of 2,050 lumens or less are exempt from Gladstone’s outdoor lighting rules, as are holiday string lights. Brighter fixtures must be shielded to point light down and away from neighboring property, and no more than 0.25 foot-candle may reach 10 feet past the property line (Sections 7.181.040 and 7.181.070). (Read from a third-party copy of the city code; confirm with City Hall.)

Gladstone history, jobs and parks
A little history
The area was first settled as Linden, and the Atkins-Johnson farmhouse was lived in continuously from 1831 to 2005; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 and now operates as a farm and museum. Residents voted to incorporate Gladstone in November 1952, largely to avoid annexation by Kansas City. The new city grew quickly, reaching 14,502 residents by 1960, peaking at 26,365 in 2000, and counting 27,063 in the 2020 Census. The Maple Woods Natural Area, a remnant of the area’s original forest, is a National Natural Landmark.
Where people work
Per the city’s 2016 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Gladstone’s largest employers were Walmart (354 employees), North Kansas City Schools (335), Hy-Vee (280), the City of Gladstone (196), and Van Chevrolet (155), followed by The Home Depot, McDonald’s, Price Chopper, Sunsmart Technologies, and QuikTrip. Downtown, Flaherty & Collins Properties built The Heights at Linden Square, a $26 million project with 222 apartments and 10,000 sq ft of street-front retail that opened in 2015. No large new employer investments in Gladstone were listed on Wingman’s KC Development Watch or Tax Watch.
Parks & outdoors
Gladstone runs more than a dozen parks, led by 79.8-acre Happy Rock Park (lighted ball fields, soccer, tennis, and a 1.3-mile fitness trail), Oak Grove Park (home of Theatre in the Park), and Hobby Hill West, which has a zip line and an 18-hole disc golf course. Central Park holds the Gladstone Community Center at 6901 N Holmes St., with competition and leisure pools and a diving well, plus an outdoor municipal pool with a flume slide. Maple Woods Nature Preserve offers more than 38 acres of hiking trails, and the city’s first dog park and an all-inclusive playground at Flora Park are in the works.
