Applications Permits & Fees

The City of Fairborn requires a permit for many improvements, such as the construction of fences, sheds, detached garages, additions to homes, as well as decks, patios and patio covers to name a few. Many of these permits are obtained through the Building Inspection Division. Others, like driveway approaches and work in the public right-of-way, are coordinated through the City's Engineering Division.

The permit ensures the construction complies with all applicable zoning and building codes. For some projects, individuals should consult with a contractor and/or architect depending on the difficulty of the project.

All work authorized by a permit will require an inspection by the Building Inspection Division.

When a Permit is Required 
It is important to keep in mind that many, but not all, projects require a permit from the City of Fairborn. 

Submission of Drawings
For new residential buildings, residential additions, residential garages, patio enclosures, decks, and shed/accessory buildings, the application for construction requires two complete sets of plans. The plans must be drawn to scale. The plans should include the following information:

  • Electrical system layout
  • Exterior elevations and orientation (north, south, east, west)
  • Floor plans
  • Foundation plans
  • Gas piping layout
  • Insulation information
  • Mechanical system layout
  • Site plans (showing the lot dimensions, drainage path, size and location of existing and proposed structures and all easements)
  • Structural Information (trusses, joists, rafter sizes, beams)
  • Wall sections

Plan review typically takes 10 to 15 business days. Unusually complex projects or incomplete applications may require significantly longer plan review.
