Building

The City of Medina Building Department regulates construction, along with helping to create and maintain a thriving environment in which to live, work and do business. Through plan reviews, building inspections, and property maintenance enforcement, the Building Department positively contributes to the future of Medina's structures.

The City of Medina Building Department has a knowledgeable and helpful staff consisting of State of Ohio Certified Building Inspectors, International Code Council Certified Permit Technician, and Counter Staff. Their expertise with building construction, as well as zoning requirements here in the City of Medina, makes completing projects here a pleasant experience.

The City of Medina Building Department also enforces property maintenance. We are proud of our Historic Structures and have directed our focus on preserving the integrity of our older neighborhoods. In many cases, Owners of properties in the City that fall into disrepair are unable to maintain them. We put much effort into helping connect these owners with available programs and volunteer organizations to assist them in maintainting their property.

Through the combination of Planning, Building, and Property Maintenance Assistance, the City of Medina Building Department has as its goal the continued wellbeing of our community. Please use your City of Medina Building Department for all of your construction needs and let us know if there are any questions, comments, or concerns about Medina's built environment.
