Building Department

Welcome

Streetsboro Building Department was established in 1993 to assist with the massive development taking place in the city. The purpose of the Building Department is to oversee both commercial and residential construction. The City requires that all contractors and subcontractors doing work in the city be registered. Residents hiring contractors to do work on their property are encouraged to call the Building Department to inquire as to whether or not their contractor is registered. Residents may also visit the Building Department and ask for a list of registered contractors when looking to have work done on their property.
