1 Stop & 1 Application
The centralization of a one-stop shop continues to become more and more efficient. At 2275 Bauer Road, only one application is required for building, electric, mechanical, water management & sediment control (WMSC), sewer, water, driveways, sidewalks, frontage, fire protection and floodway permits. The Public Health District, still a separate entity which was relocated in 1996 to Bauer Road, continues to issue permits for items such as plumbing, on-site septic, and food service.
Permit Central works to facilitate and coordinate the review and inspection procedures for development and construction work of all of the regulating departments within the County and the State of Ohio, including the Building Inspection, Public Health District, County Engineer, Water Resources Department, Geographic Information System (GIS), County Auditor, Community and Economic Development and the Zoning Officials throughout the county.
