The 1707 form is a public record. No complaints over the phone or in letter form will be addressed unless this form is completed online or printed and returned to the zoning office at 41416 Griswold Road, Elyria OH 44035.

Garage Sales

You do not need a permit in order to have a garage sale. A garage sale can not last more than one week.

Permit Reminder

Zoning Permits are required for the changing of the footprint of structures on the property, the addition of a fence, the installation of a swimming pool, or any additional structures to the property in question.

Thanks to everyone who installed a fence around their pool. If you have any questions about whether your pool requires a fence, please give us a call, and we will be happy to help answer that question. We would also like to thank everyone who removed junk cars from their property.
