BUILDING & IMPROVEMENTS

The City of Lincolnshire maintains a list of deed restrictions. If you have questions about our current restrictions please call the Mayor where we do not have restriction listed we adhere to the building codes and rules set forth by Metro Louisville.

The Metro Office of Construction reviews and issues permits for a wide variety of projects. Most building and improvement projects require approval and a permit. If you have a specific question, we encourage you to call their office at 502-574-3321.
