Gas loan payoff in 2031 could free $280,500 a year, city memo says
An Oct. 29 gas rate study memo for the Nov. 2 council meeting says the gas system’s $280,500 yearly debt payment ends with a final installment due Jan. 1, 2031, and suggests moving that money into the Capital Reserve Fund afterward. Gas use from January through August was 733,390 therms, about 22% below the historical average, and 2026 gas purchase costs are projected at $572,000 against an $812,000 budget. Staff recommends keeping current rates ($0.8687 per therm, $23.33 minimum) and doing the next study in fall 2027. The council’s action was not yet published as of Nov. 4.

Draft zoning would require special permits for golf courses and backyard pool rentals
The Planning Commission’s Oct. 28 draft use tables for the agricultural and residential districts (A-L, R-1, R-3, R-4, R-5 and MP) list golf courses as special use permit (SUP) uses in A-L through R-5. The draft also requires an SUP to rent out private pools or yard space, and to run event centers or wedding venues in A-L and R-1. Home occupations would be permitted in every district. The tables are still drafts, and the commission takes up commercial uses Nov. 18.

Zoning draft would treat beekeeping as farm use, allowed in A-L and R-1
The staff draft of Louisburg’s new allowed-use tables, reviewed by the Planning Commission on Oct. 28, 2026, now treats beekeeping as an agricultural use. The draft table lists it as permitted in the A-L agricultural and R-1 residential districts. Streetside farm stands and urban agriculture would be allowed in A-L and need a special use permit elsewhere. The tables are still a draft and have not been adopted.

Water fund on track to fall short by 2028 without a rate change, city finance memo warns
A Nov. 2 finance memo says Louisburg pays its wholesale supplier, the MDC Public Utility Authority, $10.00 per 1,000 gallons but charges customers $8.84, a loss of $1.16 per 1,000 gallons, on top of a $27.56 base charge. The water operating fund would drop well below its target balance by the end of 2028 without an adjustment, after the surplus fund also covered a $220,000 rural water interconnect and $51,000 in main repairs. Staff proposed no specific rate and asked the council for direction at the Nov. 2 meeting; no result has been posted yet.

On Oct. 5 the City Council voted 5-0 to move ahead with the emergency water interconnect with Miami County Rural Water District 2 (project #26-850-01). The city’s estimated share rose to $272,766 from the $220,000 budgeted, because of material costs and a larger connection, and will be paid from the Water Surplus Reserve. The 20-year agreement itself was held for review by the city attorney.

Louisburg drops its facade grant program for 2027 and adds a cemetery levy
The 2027 budget the City Council approved on Sept. 8 eliminates the Facades of Louisburg Improvement Program (FLIP) for 2027 and adds a quarter-mill levy for Louisburg Cemetery upkeep, since maintenance costs exceed annual grave sales. The city’s October-November newsletter puts total proposed 2027 spending at about $16.7 million, with $1,005,000 for infrastructure improvements and $350,000 for stormwater management.

Staff recommends holding natural gas rates steady
A gas rate study on the Nov. 2, 2026 City Council agenda recommends leaving customer gas rates at their current level. The city projects 2026 gas receipts of $1,318,008 against $1,269,838 in spending, and the $250,000 gas radio-read meter project was paid from the Capital Reserve Fund. Staff suggest another rate study in fall 2027; the item is on the agenda and no vote result is published yet.
Historical property tax
Louisburg property taxes: 10 years of real bills

City rules
Can I do that in Louisburg?
The questions buyers ask before the fence goes up, from Louisburg code, permit pages and local reporting. Rules change and HOA covenants can be stricter, so confirm with the city before you build.
Fences
A city building permit is required for fences. Call Building & Zoning at (913) 837-5811 before you start.
Sheds
Building permits are required for structures and additions. Check with Planning & Zoning at (913) 837-5811 to confirm whether your shed needs one.
Pets
Dogs over six months old must be licensed each year by May 1 ($3 if spayed or neutered, $5 if not), with a copy of the rabies vaccination. Households may keep up to three dogs and five pets in total.
Trash & recycling
Waste Management provides city trash service. Each spring the city holds a Citywide Clean-Up Day for residents; brush, regular household trash, construction debris and hazardous items such as paint, oil, tires and batteries are not collected. Brush goes to the city brush dump on Saturdays.
Fireworks
A 2024 KCTV5 roundup lists consumer fireworks as not legal in Louisburg; confirm current rules with City Hall. The city hosts a public fireworks show at Lewis-Young Park.
Burning
Leaves and yard debris may be burned on Fridays and Saturdays only, and the fire must be attended at all times. No burning may start from two hours before sunset until one hour after sunrise, none when wind exceeds 15 mph, and none on any street, alley or curb. Call Miami County Dispatch at 913-294-4444 (option 4) before each burn.
Fire pits
Cooking fires such as barbecuing are allowed in a suitable container. Campfires in an approved area may be no more than 4 feet across at the base, and bonfires no more than 10 feet across, with the Fire Department notified at least 24 hours ahead of a bonfire.
RV parking
Travel trailers, fifth wheels, utility trailers, boats, campers and other recreational vehicles may not be left parked on city streets for more than 36 hours. Trucks rated over 1.5 tons also face street parking limits, except for emergencies or loading and unloading.
Pools
Louisburg uses the 2018 International Residential Code, including Appendix G for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs. Only prefabricated pools less than 24 inches deep are exempt from a building permit. Call Planning & Zoning at 913-837-5811.
Snow removal
Owners or occupants must clear snow and ice from sidewalks next to their lot within 5 hours after a snowfall or ice storm ends, or by noon the next day if it falls overnight (Sec. 13-401). If ice can’t be removed, sand, ashes or a non-corrosive treatment is acceptable until it can (Sec. 13-402). Snow from private property may not be pushed into streets, alleys or sidewalks, and the city can clear neglected walks and bill the cost to the property’s taxes (Sec. 13-404 to 13-405).
Chickens
The city’s animal code (Chapter 2) sets no specific cap on chickens, but fowl may not run at large (Sec. 2-116), pens must be kept clean and sanitary with waste removed at least weekly (Sec. 2-112), and habitual crowing that disturbs neighbors is prohibited (Sec. 2-111). Zoning rules may add limits, so confirm with City Hall before setting up a coop.
Garage sales
Louisburg hosts a citywide garage sale each spring (April 8-22 in 2026), when garage sale signs may be posted without the usual sign permit. Signs still need the property owner’s permission, cannot go on public property, utility poles or hydrants, and cannot block views at intersections.
Lawn and weed height
Weeds and grasses taller than 8 inches are presumed to be a blighting nuisance (Sec. 8-302). The city sends one written notice per calendar year, then the owner has 10 days to mow or 5 days to request a hearing; if the work is not done, the city mows and bills the cost plus an administrative fee, and unpaid bills after 30 days go on the property tax (Secs. 8-303, 8-304).
Yard storage rules
The environmental code bans leaving lumber, tires, auto parts, junk, indoor furniture, appliances, old lawn mowers and similar items sitting in a yard, and also covers rundown house exteriors, accessory buildings and fences (Sec. 8-608). After a certified-mail notice, owners have 15 days to fix yard problems and 45 days to fix structure problems before the city can abate and bill the property (Secs. 8-609, 8-611, 8-614).
Inoperable vehicles
A junked, wrecked, dismantled or non-running vehicle must be kept inside a garage or other building (Sec. 8-204). A vehicle that has been inoperable for 30 consecutive days or less is exempt, as is one fully hidden from public view behind solid screening (Secs. 8-205, 8-206). Once notified, the owner has 7 days to comply (Sec. 8-207).
Noise and quiet hours
Running noisy tools or equipment that can be heard at the neighboring property line is not allowed from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights, 11 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday, and 11 p.m. Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday (Sec. 11-204). Car stereos may not be plainly audible 50 or more feet from the vehicle (Sec. 11-203).
Building permit fees
A residential addition needs a building permit with a site plan, drawings stamped by a licensed design professional and a copy of the deed, built to the 2018 International Residential Code by licensed contractors. The city handout lists a fee of $69.25 for the first $2,000 of project value plus $14 for each additional $1,000, and homes in an HOA need HOA approval first. The handout is undated, so confirm with City Hall at 913-837-5811.
Sidewalk repair
The owner of the abutting property must keep the sidewalk in repair; after five days’ notice the City may make repairs and assess the cost to the property. Building or repairing a sidewalk requires a City permit, and residential walks must be at least 5 feet wide and 4 inches thick (Sec. 13-101, 13-103, 13-108).
Kennel licenses
A $100 annual kennel license from the City Clerk is needed to keep more than three dogs or more than three cats over six months old, more than five dogs and cats combined, or more than one litter, or to breed, sell, train or board dogs or cats. The license requires an animal control inspection and a zoning certificate (Sec. 2-123).
Door-to-door sales
Peddlers, solicitors and canvassers need a City Clerk license, carried at all times: $10 per day (capped at $100 per six months) or $250 per year. Sales calls are allowed only from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and people selling farm products they grew themselves pay no fee (Sec. 5-102, 5-107).
Tiny homes on wheels
Tiny homes on wheels (150 to 400 square feet, not counting lofts) are allowed only in mobile home parks (M-P district). They must connect to approved water, sewer or septic, and electricity, be blocked and anchored to zoning standards, and keep their wheels on (Zoning Regulations Sec. 505.B).
Contractor licensing
Contractors working in Louisburg must be licensed by Miami County, and many projects also need a local excavation license. Building permits are required for most projects, including fences, decks, roofs and remodeling; call Planning & Zoning at 913-837-5811.
Solar panels
Louisburg’s zoning regulations list solar panels as a customary accessory use to a home, alongside air conditioners and off-street parking (Zoning Regulations Sec. 404.B). A building permit may still be required, so check with City Hall before installing.
Home businesses
A home occupation is a business, profession, service or trade run entirely within a home or its accessory buildings (Zoning Regulations Sec. 404.QQ). The specific limits, including employees, are set in Article 6 (Sec. 606 Home Occupations and Sec. 613 Number of Employees).
Beekeeping
Louisburg’s city code has no separate beekeeping section. Chapter 2 counts bees in its definition of “animal” (Sec. 2-101(b)), so the general animal rules in that chapter apply, and the 2010 zoning regulations list bees and apiary products as an agricultural use (Sec. 404(C)). Check with City Hall before setting up hives on a residential lot.
Golf carts & UTVs
Under Ordinance 1119 (May 2020), UTVs need a city registration and plate ($100 a year, $50 renewal) after a police inspection, with proof of liability insurance, and may not use roads posted above 45 mph. Golf carts may not be driven between sunset and sunrise or on roads posted above 25 mph and need a slow-moving vehicle emblem. Drivers of either must hold a valid, unrestricted driver’s license.
Brush & leaf drop-off
The city brush dump, south of the Public Works building on S. Rogers Road and south of S. 16th Street, is open Saturdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for city residents, who must show a utility bill. Wood must be 6 inches or less in diameter, and leaves go in a designated area.
Driveway & right-of-way permits
A Right-of-Way permit is required before excavating, replacing a driveway or sidewalk, or placing any fixed structure in the city right-of-way; the processing fee is $65 (plus $50 per 1,000 linear feet of installation) and doubles if work starts without a permit. Driveway replacement needs no bond or insurance (Right-of-Way and Utility Management Code, Ord. 1173, Chapter XV, Article 8, Secs. 14, 16, 17).
Erosion control on building lots
Building permits on sites disturbing under 1 acre must install perimeter controls such as silt fence and a rock construction entrance before grading, protect curb inlets, and keep mud off streets until the lot is sodded. Violations are misdemeanors up to $500 per day (City Code Chapter 4, Article 10, Ord. 1157).
Food trucks
Food trucks and food vendors need a city permit (City Code 5-102(a); mobile food vendors are defined in 5-101(g)). Each seller first pays a $25 background-check fee. Permits then cost $10 for one day, $100 for six months or $200 for one year.
Corner sight triangles
On corner lots, nothing may be built, placed, planted or allowed to grow between 2.5 and 10 feet above curb grade inside the sight triangle, measured 90 feet along each street centerline (120 feet at major or arterial intersections), and no fence may be built there. See Zoning Regulations Sections 404, 604 and 611(A).
Satellite dishes
In residential and mobile home districts, dish antennas may be placed only in the rear yard; a side-yard location requires a special use permit. See Zoning Regulations Section 602(B)(7).
Detached garages
A detached garage or carport may not exceed three-car capacity or 36 by 24 feet without a special use permit, and one with an 8-by-7-foot or larger door or over 300 square feet needs a hard-surface driveway. See Zoning Regulations Section 602(B).
Boating on Louisburg Lake
Motor boats are not allowed on Louisburg City Lake at any time, except boats with electric trolling motors rated under 4 horsepower (Sec. 12-202). Anyone fishing the lake must carry a valid Kansas fishing license (Sec. 12-201).
Manufactured homes
Residential-design manufactured homes (at least 22 feet wide and 40 feet long, with a pitched roof and other design standards) are permitted in the A-L, R-1, R-2 and R-3 districts; other mobile or manufactured homes are limited to the M-P district (Zoning Regulations Secs. 404, 501-505).
Bed and breakfasts
A bed and breakfast needs a special use permit in any district, must be in a home where the owner or manager lives, and may rent rooms for no more than 14 consecutive nights; it needs two off-street spaces plus one per guest room, screened from neighbors (Zoning Regulations Sec. 619).
Yard and real estate signs
Real estate signs up to 6 sq. ft. need no permit and must come down one day after closing; garage sale signs may stay up 3 days and only on the sale property; political signs follow K.S.A. 25-2711 (45 days before to 2 days after an election); no sign may sit in the right-of-way (Zoning Regulations Secs. 804-806).
Historic properties
Demolition, additions, new structures, site changes, and changes to significant exterior features of a designated historic structure or site need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission. The code also says deteriorated historic features should be repaired rather than replaced (Sec. 17-501).
Insurance money after a major loss
If an insurance claim on a building is more than 75% of the policy’s face value, the insurer pays 15% of the claim to the City Treasurer after any first mortgage is paid. The city returns it with interest within 45 days unless it starts removal proceedings. The holdback doesn’t apply if the building inspector certifies the site was cleared, repaired, or secured (Secs. 8-701 to 8-711).
Watering restrictions
Louisburg has no standing odd/even watering schedule.

Living in Louisburg
Louisburg history, jobs and parks
A little history
Before the Civil War this land was set aside for the Peoria, Wea, Piankeshaw and Kaskaskia peoples, and farmers began settling nearby by 1854. A community called St. Louis, nicknamed “Little St. Louis,” formed by 1867 and was renamed Louisburg in 1870 as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas (MKT) Railroad arrived; the depot was finished by 1871. Around 1875 many businesses moved south of the tracks, forming today’s downtown, and Louisburg incorporated as a third-class city on November 3, 1882. When MKT service ended in the late 1950s, K-68 and nearby US-69 kept the town growing, and in 1977 the Louisburg Cider Mill began pressing cider in a restored hay barn.
Where people work
Louisburg is part of the Kansas City metropolitan area, and its spot near US-69 and K-68 puts Johnson County and the wider metro within commuting distance to the north. In town, the school district, City of Louisburg, Louisburg Cider Mill and the Louisburg Medical Pavilion are among the local workplaces, along with shops and restaurants on Broadway.
Parks & outdoors
Louisburg Lake at Ron Weers Park has a 1.5-mile paved path, a rentable shelter and fishing with a Kansas license, plus the restored Little Round House. Lewis-Young Park on Jingo Road holds the ball and soccer fields, trails tended by Trailcats volunteers, the Powell Observatory and the Fourth of July Freedom Fest. City Park, the Louisburg Aquatic Center and a nine-hole public golf course round things out, with Middle Creek State Fishing Lake nearby. Stargazers, take note: the observatory has one of the largest telescopes in the region, so the cider is not the only thing worth lining up for.
