Do I need a permit for interior remodeling in Marion Township?

Marion Township does not issue residential building permits.

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 may be required

It depends. Whether interior remodeling needs a permit in Marion Township comes down to the details of your project.

The Residential Code of Ohio exempts finish work such as painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, and countertops from a permit, but moving or removing walls, or any electrical, plumbing, or mechanical change, requires a permit in most Ohio jurisdictions. Removing or altering a load-bearing wall is structural work and is never exempt.
