Solar permitting in Columbus, OH requires strict compliance with the Ohio Building Code and coordination through the city's Building and Zoning Services. Property owners must submit construction documents sealed by an Ohio-registered design professional, along with structural calculations demonstrating compliance with OBC 108.2.9. The process typically takes three business days once complete applications are received.

Columbus mandates special inspections for photovoltaic systems under OBC Section 1704, requiring property owners to designate an approved inspector from the city's registered list. All installations must meet National Electrical Code standards and secure both building and electrical permits through a registered contractor. Franklin County oversees additional zoning requirements, while AEP Ohio manages utility interconnection applications. Projects require coordination between multiple agencies to ensure full compliance with state building codes, local fire safety regulations, and electrical safety standards before final system activation.
