In most of the towns we work, a demolition on one side of a line goes to a different office from a demolition on the other. Here it does not, and that is genuinely useful.
The county designated a single enforcement agency. Scott County’s adopting ordinance states that “the Georgetown-Scott County Department of Building Inspection shall be designated as the local enforcement agent/agency” for the Kentucky Building Code and Kentucky Residential Code. One office, one set of expectations.
And the fee schedule proves the reach. It is headed “Stamping Ground - Sadieville - Georgetown - Scott County”: four jurisdictions on one document. If your property is anywhere on this side of the county line, 125 West Clinton Street on (502) 863-9802 is your office.
Residential demolition is a flat $52. The current schedule lists “Demolition $52” under residential, alongside “Moving a Structure $52”. Commercial demolition is priced off the valuation-based cost and fee table rather than at a flat rate.
What we could not find, and are not going to invent. Georgetown does not publish its demolition application form, and we found no published requirement here for utility disconnects, an asbestos report, insurance or a bond, not because there is none, but because it is not on the website. One call to (502) 863-9802 settles it, and that call is a better source than this page.
Code enforcement is a separate office in the same building on (502) 603-5844 and deals with property maintenance and overgrown ground rather than demolition permits. Do not ring them for this. This is a plain-English summary of published material, not legal advice, and Building Inspection is the authority on your address.
Every job here ends the same way: the structure down, the debris on our trucks and off your property. See the full demolition service
Rentals, flips and additions.
Georgetown has been building and re-letting steadily for decades, and interior strip-outs between tenants or ahead of a remodel are a large part of what we do inside the city.
Interior gutting, in detail
The subdivision classic.
Rear decks bolted to the house, most of them now old enough that the timber predates 2004, which rules out the bonfire and is why haul-off is in our price.
Deck & porch demolition
Drives, patios and pads.
Priced by weight rather than area. Measure the depth at a broken edge and you will understand your own quote better than most people do.
Concrete removal
And the slab under it.
Garden sheds inside the city, bigger outbuildings out towards Stamping Ground and Sadieville. Whether the concrete goes too is the fork in the price.
Shed & outbuilding removal
Boundaries, and who owns them.
Priced by the running foot and the post type. On a shared boundary it is worth ten minutes establishing whose fence it is before it is on a truck.
Fence & gate removal
Rarer here, and permit-led.
A whole structure means the permit sets your start date rather than our schedule. The office below is the one to ask, and asking early is the whole trick.
House & building demolitionEvery other page on this site tells you what a town requires. This one can tell you who and how much, but not what, and a page that pretended otherwise would be worse than this one.
The Georgetown/Scott County Building Inspection Department at 125 West Clinton Street on (502) 863-9802 permits demolition for Georgetown, unincorporated Scott County, Stamping Ground and Sadieville. Residential demolition is $52; commercial runs off the cost and fee schedule. All of that is published and checkable.
Which is more than most pages about this subject will give you.
The application form is not published in a form we could retrieve, and nothing on the city or county sites sets out whether a demolition here needs utility disconnects evidenced, an asbestos report attached, insurance filed or a bond posted. Other cities publish all four. We are not going to assume Georgetown matches any of them.
Ring (502) 863-9802 and ask. It takes a minute and it is the real answer.
The same published ranges as the main demolition service: a page about one city should not quote you a different number from the page about the service. You get a firm figure before anything starts.
Wood, chain-link, vinyl and metal. Usually priced by the running foot and the post type.
Decks and porches from $400; concrete from $400, where weight and access move it more than area does.
Sheds, barns, garages and small structures, hauled away complete. Contents included.
Walls, drywall, insulation, flooring, ceilings and fixtures. Priced on rooms and what is behind them.
Residential and small commercial. Permits, utility disconnects and disposal volume drive this one.
PLACEHOLDER: three real Scott County jobs, before and after. Name the road or the part of the county and what was cleared in each caption; that detail is the part a competitor cannot copy.
CROWN’s own published list of the parts of Georgetown and Scott County we work most often.
Outside Scott County? We demolish across Central Kentucky: Lexington, Nicholasville, Richmond, Frankfort, Winchester, Versailles and Paris. The permit arrangement described above is this city’s own, and across our eight towns no two of them are the same, which is the whole reason this page exists.
Very quick from contact to in home to remove some flooring. Once on site they got straight to work and did an outstanding job! Very reasonable price for the work done. Will continue to use them for all future needs.
Extremely helpful and nice, was hired for land clearing and site preparation they removed pesky honey suckle. Definitely going to hire them in the future.
Very hard workers that cleaned out a whole house that was trashed and filthy. Very polite and considered. Would definitely recommend this company!
If yours isn’t here, call: we’d rather answer it before you book than after.
Send photos with the address and the date. On a structure the permit sets the start date, not us, and we say so before you book rather than after.
(859) 213-6077The Georgetown / Scott County Building Inspection Department, at 125 West Clinton Street on (502) 863-9802. Georgetown is unusual among the towns we serve in having one office cover everything on this side of the county line: Scott County’s own ordinance designates that department as the local enforcement agency for the Kentucky Building Code, and its fee schedule is headed for Stamping Ground, Sadieville, Georgetown and Scott County together. In most of our other towns the city and the county are separate authorities.
The current published schedule lists residential demolition at $52, the same as moving a structure. Commercial demolition is not a flat fee: it is priced off the valuation-based cost and fee schedule instead. That $52 is the city’s fee for the permit and is separate from the cost of the work.
We do not know, and we would rather say so. Georgetown does not publish its demolition application form or a list of what goes with it, so this page cannot tell you whether an asbestos report, evidence of utility disconnection, insurance or a bond is required here. Other cities in our area publish all of those; assuming Georgetown matches any of them would be guessing with your project. Call (502) 863-9802 and ask, and if you have had a notice about the property, the notice will cite what applies.
Crown handles the permit process as part of the job, which is stated on the demolition page and holds here. What that does not mean is that the paperwork takes no time: it means it is not your afternoon. For a deck, a fence or most interior work no wrecking permit is generally involved at all.
A fence or gate is $200 to $1,200 and up; a deck, porch or concrete slab $400 to $2,500 and up; a shed or outbuilding $500 to $1,800 and up; interior gutting $1,500 to $6,000 and up; a house or small building $4,000 to $15,000 and up. These are the same figures as our main demolition page: the county you are in does not change the price list.
Across the county, including out towards Stamping Ground and Sadieville. The ZIP codes are listed above. Worth knowing that the same building inspection office covers those communities as covers Georgetown itself, so the permit route does not change when you leave the city.
Send two or three photos and the address. If it is a structure, ring Building Inspection on (502) 863-9802 as well: they can tell you what the application needs faster than any website can, and we will work to whatever they say.
