Do I need a permit for hvac replacement or installation 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.
Yes. In Ohio, hvac replacement or installation generally requires a permit, and Marion Township is no exception.
Under the Residential Code of Ohio, installing or replacing a furnace, air conditioner, heat pump, or other HVAC equipment is mechanical work that requires a permit in most Ohio jurisdictions and is not covered by the minor-repair exemption. Any new electrical circuit or gas line for the equipment requires the corresponding trade permit.
