Which counties and communities can I call about?
Call about commercial facilities in Montgomery, Greene and Miami counties. Those are the three counties the federal government groups as the Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek metro area (OMB Bulletin 23-01, July 21, 2023). Nearby places outside those counties are reviewed case by case.
The groups below are here to help you place your building and find the right permit office. They aren't a promise that a repair company covers every address. Give the street address when you call.
Dayton and nearby Montgomery County communities
Commercial dock doors, shop bays and fleet-garage doors all count. A Dayton mailing address doesn't always mean the building is inside the City of Dayton, so give the city or township too.
| Community | County | Commercial permit office |
|---|---|---|
| Dayton | Montgomery | City of Dayton, Division of Building Inspection |
| Kettering | Montgomery (part in Greene) | City of Kettering |
| Moraine | Montgomery | City of Moraine, which also requires a contractor and subcontractor registration form |
| Riverside | Montgomery | Montgomery County Building Regulations |
| Oakwood, West Carrollton, Englewood | Montgomery | Check the state's jurisdiction map |
Around Dayton International Airport
The airport sits about nine miles north of downtown, near the I-70 and I-75 crossroads (Dayton International Airport). The county engineer's Northeast Logistics Access project runs along the airport's east and north edges in Butler Township and Vandalia. It connects "burgeoning logistics development around the airport" to the interstates (Montgomery County Engineer). Neighboring buildings here can fall under different permit offices, so the street address matters.

Who issues permits at your address?
In the Dayton area, the permit office depends on the exact address, not the mailing city. Below is who issues commercial building and electrical permits in each place we could confirm at the office's own website. For anywhere else, use the state's Board of Building Standards jurisdiction map.

The code lets minor repairs go ahead without a permit application. That exemption leaves out replacing electric wiring, and installing or replacing electrical systems needs approval (2024 Ohio Building Code §102.10.2 and §105.1). The provider and the office decide what applies to your job.
If you know which office covers your building, call about the work.
Why does the street address matter more than the mailing city?
A mailing city alone can't tell you which building office covers a building, or whether a repair company can take the job. Give the street address and the city or township, and both questions can be answered. You don't need to look any of this up before you call.
| Detail you already know | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Street address, and the city or township | Identifies the right building office |
| The county, for a building near a county line | Kettering, Centerville, Huber Heights, Union and Clifton all cross county lines |
| Gate or entrance, and the bay number | Makes access easier |
| What's broken, and whether the dock is down | Lets the call cover both where and what |

What about Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and other restricted property?
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base spans parts of Greene and Montgomery counties (base fact sheet). Federal and state property is reviewed case by case.
