Welcome to the City of Kansas City, Missouri’s land, permitting, inspections and request for service database access - KivaNet. KIVA - the word has origins in the Pueblo culture and means a coming together for a community benefit. KivaNet implementation in Kansas City is no exception! KivaNet is a coming together of private and public interest to share information, which better serves our community. KivaNet will provide access to the City's Land Information System that is the basis of all land development processes, construction permitting, inspections, request for services, and related applications and processes administered by the City. KivaNet allows online access to the single database shared by all City departments in their daily operations. This page is designed to inform users as to the use of the system and current status of the development and implementation of KivaNet. Access the database here Permit Types and Descriptions KivaNet User Guide Looking up information You begin by selecting the database module that you are going to use to query for the information you are looking up. Currently, these include the Land Information System, Permitting System and Request For Service System. The Land Information System will display property information and includes a link to Permits that have been issued related to the property. From the Permitting System, you are also able to access the related land information for the property related to the permit being viewed. The links in the page header will provide the access. No login is required for view only access. The Request For Service System is utilized by all City departments and the 3-1-1 Action Center for monitoring the status of complaints and requests for enforcement of the various ordinances of the City. Query functions In all modules, the user has the ability to use wild cards (‘%’ or ‘_’) to increase the success rate for the query. When the query returns more than 20 items, there is a ‘next button’ to view the remainder of the list. On selected queries, the user has the ability to reorder the list in descending or ascending order based on the selected columns by clicking on the column heading. A navigational bar at the top of form allows the user to move between modules and menus. A logon is not required to view. For those with update abilities, the system will sign them off within 24 hours if they close the browser before signing off. It will retain the logon status until that time even though the user closes the browser and then reconnects to the web site at a later time.
