Building Standards
What is the Registration Process?
As prescribed by Chapter 150.140-150.146 of the codified ordinances of the City of Dublin, building trade contractors and subcontractors are required to obtain a Contractor’s Registration prior to commencing work in the City. The following contractors do not need to register: Masonry, structural, carpentry, insulation, roofing, drywall, painting, and flooring.
The Contract’s Certificate of Liability Insurance demonstrating a minimum combined bodily and property damage coverage in the amount of $300,000.00 and showing the City of Dublin 5800 Shier Rings Road Dublin, OH 43016, as a certificate holder shall be submitted with the application and maintained in full force and effect. A copy of any policy changes, including renewal, shall be forwarded to Building Standards throughout the term of the Registration.

The Certificate of Liability Insurance and any qualification Certificates must be kept current for the registration to remain valid.
No bond is required to register as a Dublin Contractor.
