Do I need a permit for electrical panel or service upgrade in Marion Township?

Marion Township does not issue residential building permits. Marion Township has no certified residential building department, and no residential building department is certified anywhere in Marion County, so no county or township residential building permit is issued. Zoning permits (township or Marion County Regional Planning) and county health (septic) permits may still apply.

The requirements below come from Ohio rules and describe the standard the work must still meet. They are not a statement that Marion Township will issue you a permit.

Permit required

Yes. In Ohio, electrical panel or service upgrade generally requires a permit, and Marion Township is no exception.

A panel upgrade or service change is electrical work that requires a permit under the Residential Code of Ohio and is never covered by the minor-repair exemption. For a service change the utility must disconnect and reconnect power, and the jurisdiction issues an inspection release before reconnection.
