Will I need to get a permit for my demolition project?
Yes. The City of Akron requires that you get a permit prior to demolishing, extending, or altering any building or structure.
Demolition permits are made available through the City of Akron's Plans and Permits Center located at 1030 E Tallmadge Ave, Akron, OH 44310
Do I obtain the demolition permit or does the contractor I hire do it?
It depends. In some cases, the demolition contractor might insist on pulling the necessary permits for a job, but this is not always the case.
Having your demolition contractor obtain the permits for you can prove to be a much more stress-free experience, so make sure you confirm with the contractor(s) you speak with whether or not they will handle the permitting process.
Can I demolish a house myself?
If you are a registered demolition contractor in the City of Akron, yes; however, if you don't have the necessary registration, you will need to hire someone who does.
As of February 2017, all demolition contractors are required to register with the City of Akron Plans and Permits office. This registration is in addition to any County or State registrations that are currently required.
