Village of Yellow Springs, Ohio

Village staff is involved at building permit application intake and completion. Please submit all building permit applications to Village staff at permits@yso.com. Village staff will call you to collect the initial deposit/payment then send the plans to NIC and Public Works for review. NIC will contact you if they need additional information (and Village staff so we are in the loop). Once plan review is complete NIC will inform the Village of the approval and the Village will call you to collect the remaining fees.

The review time depends on the complexity and type of project. It also depends on the quality of the submitted documents. Ensure you submit all the required information up front. This makes the review time much quicker. For complete applications, of minor to average complexity, you should expect a response within 5-7 business days. Commercial plans take longer, 7-10 business days. Please call NIC to check the status of a building permit at 937-433-4642.
