- Modifying or building a structure will require additional permits. Check with the local planning or zoning office for more information.
- Most municipalities also require permits for business signs, so check with the municipality prior to erecting or changing a sign.
- Finally, the county must issue a certificate of occupancy for all facilities, prior to opening for business.
Fire Regulations – Commercial and Industrial buildings will also need to comply with applicable local and state fire codes. Contact the local jurisdiction for more information on fire code issues.

Some vendor’s licenses can be issued by the county auditor and others must be issued by the Ohio Department of Taxation. For more information, visit the Miami County Auditor’s Department.
