Lynchburg Building Department

Many of you may know that in May of 2008, the Council passed several resolutions regarding the certification of a Lynchburg Building department and entering into an agreement with Clinton County Building and Zoning for enforcement of State Building Codes.
The Agreement with Clinton County was to issue permits and inspect work. This was at no annual charge to the Village, however Clinton County would charge developers, builders, etc for the issuance of a permit. This building department will cover all building and upgrading within the Village corporation limits.
At the time this was enacted and application was sent to the State, Myself and the Council members believed that this was important, in order to put standards on all building within the Village. As many know there have been several problems in the past with building and substandard workmanship.
This is not a fix all, however it will increase property value over time.
The application was submitted last year to the Board of Building Standards. They have set a meeting date for the Certification of this application for May 1st 2009, 10am in Reynoldsburg Oh at the Board of Building Standards office, room #1 at 6606 Tussing Rd.
As you may see from this, it takes quite awhile to implement and move forward with legislation. I will continue to work hard to make Lynchburg a better place, and set a higher standard for the quality of Life.
