Permits for Mattydale homes come from the Town of Salina
Mattydale is a Census-designated place in the Town of Salina, not an incorporated village, so it has no building office of its own. In the Town of Salina a building permit from the Office of Planning and Development is required before work that must conform to the Uniform Code or the Energy Code, with listed exemptions, and permit fees are set by Town Board resolution (Town of Salina code, chapter 121).
Mattydale’s homes are mostly single-family and mid-century: of its 2,584 housing units, about 87 percent (margin of error 2 percentage points) are single-family detached, and the typical (median) home dates from 1953 (margin of error 2 years; American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates). The Village of Liverpool, also in Salina, is different: it issues its own building permits.
