BUILDING, ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PERMITS
 
The Village Building Department reviews plans and issues building permits for all new construction, alterations of existing structures, and additions to buildings. The department is state certified to provide these services in all use groups covering all residential and commercial applications.
 
The Village Building Department is also certified to review plans and specifications and issue permits for all electrical, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) work in the community.
 
To obtain a building permit you must ordinarily submit a permit application, along with five (5) sets of plans, including a site plan and complete construction drawings for review. One (1) set will be returned to you with any corrections noted when the permit is issued. The other sets are forwarded as appropriate. The plan review process may take up to thirty (30) working days. Sometimes additional sets of construction drawings are required, particularly when approval is needed from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Architectural Board of Review or if variances are required. Drawings may not be needed for certain types of building permits, such as fences, driveways & aprons, demolitions, sheds or similar projects. To obtain a permit for electrical, heating or related (HVAC) systems, you must ordinarily submit an application and any required drawings for review.
 
Permits are only issued to state licensed contractors and to residential homeowners who are doing their own additions, remodels or installation/modification of electrical, and or HVAC systems. The only exceptions pertain to contractors who perform sewer repairs, install fences, driveways or sheds. All contractors must register with the building department before obtaining permits. Note: Permits for all commercial projects or work subject to the provisions of the Ohio Building Code, will only be issued to state licensed contractors.
