Click here to view Permits Required and minimum waiting times for specific projects. Permits are to be applied for by the homeowner or the contractor but the Building Department highly prefers the contractor apply for the permits to perform work at a home. All contractors working for a fee on your property are required to be registered with the City of Strongsville. A list of subcontractors (form) is required for all projects. A permit is required by the homeowner if the homeowner is doing all their own work on the project or is only using a contractor for part of the work. Building permits pay for inspections and inspections are required for most projects. To view our handout regarding what is required to apply for a permit for a fence, accessory building or deck, click here. Only one accessory building is allowed per property regardless of whether the accessory building is a shed, playhouse, pavillon, etc. Permits are void one year after issuance as long as you don't change the design. Time extensions may be granted by the Building Commissioner. If construction ceases for six months or longer, the permit is void.
