The department also processes the licenses and registrations for the various contractor types in accordance with the provisions of the codified ordinances. This includes general contractors as well as various subcontractors. See FAQ’s for specific questions.

Building

The department is a certified department by the State of Ohio Board of Building Standards. The department is capable of responding to all residential, commercial and industrial project and code matters. We continue to assure that the inspection staff is fully trained by ensuring that all mandatory state classes were attended by all department staff. Additionally, staff members also attended other voluntary educational training hours for the City to increase their areas of expertise. The department functions as a true “one-stop shop” as all submittals can be made through the office for any aspect of a project.
