Construction & Permit Information

Picture
Scroll down to read permit information and to download applications. 

The Jackson Township Zoning department highly encourages all parcel owner to consult the Clermont County Health Department before applying for a zoning permit.  Due to the nature of the soils in the County, the Health District is mostly issuing permits only for the so-called "mound" systems.  This type of system requires a building parcel of two or more acres.   See the Clermont County Health District's Website for more information.  

Lot Splits and Consolidations:   If you wish to split a lot off a larger parcel, or consolidate multiple parcels into one large parcel, you will need to have the survey done by a licensed surveyor.  All splits/consolidations must be approved by the Township and will incur a fee as determined by the Jackson Township Zoning Commission.  You will then need to acquire a new deed for the lot (or lots) from an attorney.  Once the deed is written you then record the deed at the County Recorder's office, the lot/lots will then be recorded by the County Auditor.   A permit from the township is required for any new structure on any new or existing parcel. 

Once any permit is issued by the Township, you will need to present the permit and any supporting documentation to Clermont County Permit Central to apply for your County Building and Health Permits.  The permit from the Township is issued to show the location of your new structure has been approved by the Township.  The County permits and inspects the actual construction of your structure and the waste system.
