Our goal is to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the public through diligent enforcement of adopted laws pertaining to zoning, residential and commercial construction, and property maintenance of existing structures. The Maumee Municipal Code of Ordinances may be viewed here. 

The task of the Inspection Division is two-fold:
1.  One task is to uphold the zoning code of the City in respect to allowable district uses, bulk regulations for lot sizes and setbacks, off-street parking, signage, and flood plain regulations. 

2.  The other task is to regulate new construction and property maintenance by enforcing established minimum requirements for premises, structures, mechanical equipment; and facilities for light, ventilation, heating, sanitation; and safety from fire, structural collapse and other hazards to safe and sanitary maintenance. 

Over the next several pages you will read about our duties and functions, what codes we enforce, how to get a permit and information on select zoning topics. I hope this information will be useful to you and user friendly. 

With kindest regards,
