I want to add/replace: shingles, windows, siding, HVAC, plumbing, hot water heaters

Copley Township does not require a permit for general home improvements (shingles, windows, siding, HVAC, plumbing, hot water heaters).

If you are changing the pitch of the roof, a Residential Construction Application must be submitted to Copley Township and a Zoning Certificate will be issued.


GENERAL DISCLAIMER: A Building Permit from the Summit County Building Department is required. Contact the Summit County Building Department for information regarding Summit County standards and permitting requirements.  Additionally, we recommend that you review Home Owner Association standards and/or Deed Restrictions where applicable.
