Wood stove permits in Brunswick.
Apply to the Brunswick Building Department at City Hall.
Inside Brunswick, permits come from the city’s Building Department at 4095 Center Road (330-558-6830), a state-certified department, not Medina County. The city says permits are required for home improvement projects including furnace and central air replacement, and its forms page says not to start work until permitted. The minor permit application covers HVAC work; it lists furnaces and boilers but not wood stoves, so describe the stove, insert or liner in the scope of work. Applications go to plans@brunswick.oh.us. Inspections need 24 hours’ notice by phone, and the city says not to leave inspection requests on voicemail.
