How soon after an application has been submitted can I begin work?

Work cannot begin until you have an approved application. The application is required to be signed by four different departments; once all of the departments have signed the application, the permit can be mailed to your address, emailed to you, or you may come in and pick it up. At that time you are permitted to begin the work. In the event that the work requires a permit from the Wood County Building Inspector, you will be required to give them a copy of your approved Zoning Permit.
