Building permits, plan approvals and construction inspections for commercial, industrial and multi-family residential (four or more dwellings in a single building) projects are obtained through the Medina County Building Department. Zoning approval for commercial projects is still under the City’s jurisdiction, and zoning approval must be obtained before the County will issue any building permits.
In addition, most commercial development projects will require Planning Commission approval before a zoning certificate will be issued by the City. See the Commercial Development Guide for more information on the review and approval process for these projects.
