At 2275 Bauer Road, only one application is required for building, electric, mechanical, water management & sediment control (WMSC), sewer, water, driveways, sidewalks, frontage, fire protection and floodway permits. The Public Health District , still a separate entity which was relocated in 1996 to Bauer Road, continues to issue permits for items such as plumbing , on-site septic, and food service . In 1997, Clermont County’s Permit Central/Building Inspection Department was selected by the Governor’s Office, as a pilot site for a statewide task force to simplify the permitting and development process for the citizens of the State of Ohio. The creation of a "No Wrong Door" operation is the goal of this task force. To that end, Permit Central is working to facilitate and coordinate the review and inspection procedures for development and construction work of all of the regulating departments within the County and the State of Ohio, including the Building Inspection, Public Health District , County Engineer , Water Resources Department , Geographic Information System (GIS) , County Auditor , Community and Economic Development and the Zoning Officials throughout the county.
