A Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall be required for all new construction of buildings and structures and/or new additions to existing buildings and structures regulated by the Ohio Building Code and/or the Residential Code of Ohio; and all accessory buildings, regardless of size; all residential driveways; all in-ground and above-ground swimming pools, greater than 24" in depth; and all fences, regardless of height.
(1) Construction, alteration, removal or demolition of a building or structure (Ord. 172.76)
(2) Except for minor repairs as defined in Section 1305.02 (f) and as may otherwise be provided in this Part Thirteen - Building Code, no heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, plumbing, hydronics or electrical system or parts thereof shall be installed, altered, removed, replaced or repaired without a separate permit therefor.

(3) The construction or alteration of a parking area or lot containing more than five parking spaces provided no separate permit shall be required when the parking area or lot is covered by a permit for a building or other development. (Ord. 172.76).
a. Existing Parking Lots. Permits and plan review are not required to maintain an existing parking lot in its present footprint size and configuration. Permits and plan review are required to re-pave an existing parking lot in which the footprint of the base course or of its approach is altered or enlarged, or re-graded such that storm water drainage is changed. Plan reviews are made by:
1. Toledo Plan Commission (minor site plan review for 5 to 59 spaces; major site plan review for 60 spaces or greater);
2. Division of Engineering Services (storm water drainage and the composition of paving materials); and
3. Division of Transportation (traffic control). Re-striping shall conform to current codes.
b. Existing stone paved parking lots. A stone paved parking lot may be maintained in its present footprint size and configuration without permits or plan review. Stone may be added to the top course as a matter of routine maintenance. Recycled asphalt may be used in place of stone. However, drainage may not be directed to a neighbor's property (TMC Section 1106.1906B). Further, an existing stone paved parking lot may not be expanded (TMC Section 1114.0603). Altering the configuration or expanding the size of an existing stone paved parking lot requires permits and plan review as detailed in #1 above.
c. Existing asphalt paved parking lots. No permit or plan review is required for seal coating or for the removal and replacement of the wear course down to the base course, as long as the parking lot footprint remains unchanged. Altering the configuration or expanding the size of an existing asphalt paved parking lot requires permits and plan review as detailed in Section 1305.01
(a)(3)A above.
(b) Installation of domestic water service supply lines up to and including two-inch (that portion of the water supply system between the street curb stop and meter setting) including new, replacement or repair of existing services shall require a permit and shall be inspected by the Division of Building Inspection.
