Building Department

Plan Approval Process

Prior to a permit being issued for construction, two (2) copies of plans must be submitted to the Building Department for review and will be forwarded to the appropriate review board/boards for approval.

All buildings or structures, which cost more than $3000, shall be prepared and stamped by an architect licensed to practice in the State of Ohio.
 

  1. Preliminary Approvals

    All construction planned within the Historic District must be reviewed and approved by the Historic District Sub-committee. Meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at 5:00pm and drawings are due one week prior to the scheduled meeting.

    After Historic District Sub-committee approval (if required), all drawings must be submitted for preliminary approval to the Architectural Board of Review. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month and drawings are due one week prior to the scheduled meeting.
     

  2. Final Approval

    All final construction drawings, specifications, and material color samples must be submitted to the Architectural Board of Review for final approval. Approval from the ARB is only valid for one (1) year.
