Do I need a permit for kitchen remodel in Green?
It depends. Whether kitchen remodel needs a permit in Green comes down to the details of your project.
Section 102.10 of the Residential Code of Ohio exempts cabinets, countertops, tiling, painting, and similar finish work from approval, so a cabinet and counter replacement with no other work needs no approval. Section 105.1 requires approval to install, alter, or relocate electrical, gas, or plumbing systems, so new circuits, a moved sink, or a new gas line need approval. Cutting away a wall or removing a load-bearing support is not a minor repair under Section 102.10.2 and needs approval. Ohio's residential code is enforced only by residential building departments certified by the Board of Building Standards, at the city, township, or county level. Confirm which department covers your address. Where none is certified, the owner must still build to the RCO.
