missouri: Statewide Missouri Building Standard Proposed - 02/09/12 06:40 PM
Okay, you're selling your house in an area of Missouri with no building codes or a city code. 
The deck you had built last year fails to meet the new statewide code proposed for building inspectors to apply at the point of sale --- and the buyer changes his mind or demands a lower price.

missouri: New Proposal for Missouri Building codes Will Save Lives - 02/24/10 10:38 PM

One of the biggest problems facing rural Missouri in its areas where there are presently no building codes is the poor ISO ratings of the local fire departments.
On a scale of 1 to 10, one being the “best” and 10 being “no fire department at all”, many rural fire departments are rated between 6 and 8 on the ISO scale.
This low rating is measured by evaluating the department’s record in arrival times at the scene from the time the fire is called in, the quality of training and equipment, and the availability of a consistent and lengthy flow … (0 comments)

missouri: Why the National Flood Insurance Program Will Be Good for Barry County, Missouri - 10/02/09 09:40 PM
The NFIP is a Federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding…a condition common and familiar to many in Cassville, Monett, Aurora and many other areas in Barry County.
 
This insurance is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods.
 
Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement that will be made between Barry County andthe Federal Government that states if a community will adopt and enforce a floodplain management ordinance to reduce … (0 comments)
