With the summer months almost upon us, some homeowners may be looking to do home improvement projects and the City of Lima wants to make sure you know what needs permits.
The city regulates residential building permitting construction. The building department maintains everything from general building permits, to electrical, to HVAC although plumbing permits are through the Allen County Health Department. City officials ask that you check before you build to see if your project needs a permit.
Lima Public Works Director Kirk Niemeyer explains, “It’s all in the interest of making the structure safe so we have fewer issues, building issues over time. Make sure that the money your investing (in the project) is well spent.”
You can find the building department information and permits on the city of Lima's website under the government tab.
