Ovid Building Questions Run Through Town and County

Ovid’s project paperwork moves between the town and county. The town office is at 2136 Brown Street.

Seneca County manages town building permits, codes, and zoning. A county building permit will not be issued without a copy of the town or village zoning or land-use permit, if one applies.

Starting work before the building permit is issued can trigger a stop-work order and a minimum fee to lift it. Contact the Town Clerk for the local route. Confirm whether a zoning or land-use permit applies, then submit the full county code application before work begins.

Start with the Ovid Town Clerk for the local zoning or land-use step, then send the building-permit application to Seneca County Code Enforcement. Keep both approvals with the project so the county can see the local step was handled.
