Zoning Permits
Don’t forget to apply for a zoning permit for work you intend to do before work commences. Permits from the Village are free and usually have a 7-10 day turn around after submission. Sheds, fences, new construction, pools (above and in-ground) all need permits. In kind replacements such as: shingles, windows, and siding do not require a zoning permit – check with Hamilton County regarding a building permit, though. If you’re not sure whether or not your project needs a permit, call the administration offices at 531-8675 and just ask! Visit amberleyvillage.org for submission guidelines. |
