Commercial Building
The City of Willard has an agreement with Richland County Building Department to handle all commercial permitting and inspections for the City. Please visit their website here or give them a call at 419.774.5517.
Please keep in mind that Commercial Permits generally require Zoning approval from the City of Willard. If you are building a new structure, CDC and Council will need to approve the project as well. For timing consideration, CDC tends to meet on the 4th Tuesday of the month and plans have to be submitted 2 to 4 weeks before that. Council generally meets on the first and third Monday of the Month. Both entities need to approve the project before a Zoning Permit can be approved.
Contractors still need to be licensed with the City of Willard even though we don't issue Commercial Building Permits.
