Do I need a permit for pavers, driveway, or hardscape in Marysville?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether pavers, driveway, or hardscape needs a permit in Marysville comes down to the details of your project.

Section 102.10 of the Residential Code of Ohio, work exempt from approval, covers sidewalks and driveways not more than 30 inches above grade and not over any basement or story below. Patios are not on that list, so do not assume a paver patio is exempt in Ohio. Added impervious surface can also trigger local zoning, grading or drainage review, so confirm before you begin. A structural retaining wall over 4 feet high, or any wall supporting a surcharge, a raised deck, or landscape electrical work requires its own permit and is not exempt. Ohio words 102.10 as an exemption from approval rather than from the rules. Exempt work still has to comply with the applicable provisions of the rules of the Board of Building Standards.
