Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Hvac replacement or installation usually requires a permit in Missouri. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Dallas County.

A new or relocated system, or one that burns gas, goes beyond a like for like change out and is not covered by replacement exemptions. Gas piping and venting normally require their own permit and a pressure test, and a relocated system usually triggers new duct, condensate, and electrical disconnect requirements. Missouri has no statewide HVAC or mechanical contractor license; licensing and permits are local. Under RSMo 67.309, a city or county may not bar connection of a utility service such as natural gas, propane, or electricity based on the type of energy. Missouri has no statewide residential building code; whether a permit is required depends entirely on the city or county code that covers the address. Where no local code applies, the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions still govern the installation.
