Kenyon/Forms

Forms

Every City of Kenyon application, license, permit and request, 39 in all, as online forms and as clean fillable PDFs. Fill in online, sign by typing your name, and it is delivered to the right department with a copy to you.

Every form here was rebuilt from the city's scanned and typewritten originals: the same fields, in a layout you can read. Each submission produces a completed application in that same design and sends it to the department that handles it, as the city asks residents to do by email. Prefer paper or a PDF viewer? Each form has a fillable PDF. Need a form that does not exist? Build your own PDF. Fees are still paid to the city. This site is independent of the City of Kenyon.

Paying a utility bill

Bills are paid through Kenyon Municipal Utilities, not on this site: online at the city's payment portal (2.75 percent card fee, $1.10 ACH), by free direct pay from your bank on the 10th (enroll here), or at City Hall. All the ways to pay.
