I'm building a shed. What kind of approvals do I need?
You need to apply for a Zoning Certificate from Sugarcreek Township. You will need two (2) copies of your site plan, two (2) copies of your construction drawings, and a completed Zoning Certificate Application. There is a $25 charge for buildings 200 SF or less. There is a $40 charge for buildings over 200 SF. You may need to apply for a Building Permit from the Greene County Department of Building Regulations too. If the shed is greater than 200 SF in area, you will be required to have a Building Permit. It is recommended that you call the Department of Building Regulations, 937-562-7420, to discuss your specific project. Remember, a Zoning Certificate is always required from Sugarcreek Township even if a Building Permit is not required from Greene County. You may also need to acquire approval from your Homeowner's Association.
