Building near Mullen
Before a steel building goes up near Mullen
Outside town, a steel building near Mullen involves Hooker County and two state rules. Here’s what the county and the State of Nebraska publish; confirm the requirements for your site with Hooker County Planning and Zoning.
- County permits. Hooker County Planning and Zoning, in Mullen, takes building and zoning permit applications, with two identical sets of plans. Hooker County Planning and Zoning
- The state building code. Nebraska law makes the 2018 state building code apply in a county that hasn’t adopted its own, except for construction on a farm or for farm purposes. Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6406
- State Fire Marshal review. Plans for commercial construction go to the Nebraska State Fire Marshal for review, and a deputy does a final inspection. State Fire Marshal plan review
- Sealed drawings. Nebraska’s Board of Engineers and Architects says plans for a pre-engineered building’s basic structure, site work and foundation need an architect’s or engineer’s seal, unless the building is otherwise exempt. Board of Engineers and Architects
- Farm buildings. State law treats agricultural buildings on a farmstead of 20 acres or more that produces $1,000 or more of farm products a year as farm buildings, outside the county permit rule for nonfarm buildings. Neb. Rev. Stat. 23-114.03

Who regulates a steel building near Mullen, Nebraska?
Outside town, Hooker County Planning and Zoning issues building and zoning permits. State law makes Nebraska’s 2018 state building code apply where a county hasn’t adopted its own, except for farm construction. Commercial projects also need plan review from the Nebraska State Fire Marshal. Confirm the requirements for your site with Hooker County Planning and Zoning.
What is a standing-seam metal roof?
A metal roof whose panels join at raised seams running from the ridge down to the eave. On a mechanically seamed roof, a machine closes each seam, and a skipped or poorly formed seam can let water in or give way in wind. One of the clips on this page shows a seamer at work.
