Mission Statement:
Our primary goal is to provide the best customer service possible. Whether we are serving our residents, building owners, design professionals, or tenants, we understand and agree that everyone deserves individual attention. With the recent addition of the Akron Building Department (February 2nd 2009) we will continue to streamline our policy and procedure process. As always, we welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions.
 
Purpose:
The County of Summit Division of Building Standards regulates the construction, demolition, and occupancy of buildings and structures within the Summit County jurisdiction, in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of our residents. Specifically, we review, approve, and issue all permits required by the State of
Ohio, regarding the new construction, repair, alteration, or addition to all public and private buildings and structures, as well as annually register all construction contractors; including general building trades, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing.
 

City of Akron Projects

Designed to assist not only residents, but also Design Professionals, Tenants, Property and Building Owners, together the County of Summit and the City of Akron, have created a “One Stop” location for plan submittals.

The City of Akron maintains this satellite office designated as “Akron Plans and Permits” within the Building Standards facility, designated to intake and distribute submitted documents, and to coordinate the efforts of numerous City Departments including: (Engineering, Fire, Health, Sewer, Water and Zoning). The extent of their plan review is limited in scope, specifically to determine compliance with Akron’s current, adopted Codified Ordinances and Codes. Additionally, they assign and verify all property addresses within the City of Akron. Please visit their website at: www.ci.akron.oh.us  for detailed information.

The County of Summit, Building Standards Division is responsible for all plan reviews, permits, and inspections related to the Construction, Alteration and Repair for all structures located within the City of Akron, in regards to the Ohio Building Code (OBC) and the Residential Code of Ohio (RCO).
