What is a Change of Use permit?
A change of use permit is required in Louisville whenever a property’s use shifts from one type to another – like converting a retail space into a restaurant or a warehouse into offices – even if no construction is planned. These permits are issued by Construction Review, a division of the Department of Codes and Regulations.
Why is it needed?
- Different uses have different safety, building code, and zoning requirements.
- Examples: Turning a house into a short-term rental, a warehouse into a gym, or a church into an event venue.
How to apply?
Apply online through Louisville Metro’s Accela Citizen Access portal. City staff will review for code, zoning, and safety compliance before approval. If you are not a licensed contractor with Louisville Metro, please visit the Construction Review office at 444 S. 5th Street to apply. Questions? Visit LouisvilleKY.gov/Construction or call (502) 574-3321.

New items or changes in project status are shown in bold
Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may arise, and as such, the information provided below is for advisory purposes only and subject to change without prior notice.
Pothole patching, sweeping, drain & ditch cleaning, striping, pavement marking, and maintenance crews may work on major interstates during non-peak daytime hours and at night. Motorists should watch for roadside maintenance on interstates and highways daily throughout the district.
 **Following the recent snow and ice event, our crews are out across the district repairing potholes and addressing winter-related roadway wear. This is part of our routine maintenance efforts to keep state routes safe and drivable.
As crews move from location to location, drivers may encounter short-term lane closures or rolling operations on interstates and state highways. These repairs often happen quickly and as conditions are identified.
Please stay alert, reduce speed in work zones, and give our highway crews the space they need to complete pothole patching safely.**
