Wood County offers tips on building permit system

8/12/2002

BOWLING GREEN — Individuals planning to build a home in Wood County can get information about the procedures for getting proper building permits with a new brochure about rural residential construction.

Among the requirements is the need to check with the county engineer to determine what must be done to gain access to the lot, including whether and what size culvert must be installed.

A concern about incorrectly placed culverts that cause drainage problems prompted county officials to collaborate on the brochure.

The brochure is available from the Wood County building inspection department, the county engineer's office, or the county planning commission.
