Deck builders in Wadsworth, Ohio work with two offices. Since January 1, 2025, the Medina County Building Department has handled residential permits, plan reviews and inspections for homes in the city, while the City of Wadsworth still handles zoning from 120 Maple Street.

Wadsworth had 24,007 residents at the 2020 census, up from 21,567 in 2010, and it sits along I-76 with exits at SR 57, SR 94 and SR 261 (Wikipedia: Wadsworth). Both newer homes and older ones can request quotes through the same form.

Send the address and what you have in mind, and a local contractor will follow up to quote a new deck, a rebuild or a screened porch.

What does a Wadsworth zoning application for a deck need?

Every Wadsworth zoning application needs a site plan or aerial photo showing property lines, existing structures, the proposed improvement, and its setbacks and height. A deck builder can mark those up from a survey or a county aerial before the application goes in.

The zoning office is reached at 330-335-2753.

Who handles what in Wadsworth since 2025

How a Wadsworth request works

  1. Send the request

    The address, rough size and what you want the deck to do.

  2. Site visit

    The deck builder measures, checks the house band where a ledger would attach, and notes slope and access.

  3. Design and quote

    Layout, boards, railing and stairs, with a written price.

  4. Zoning, then the building permit

    Township, village or city zoning comes first where it applies; the building permit follows.

  5. Call OHIO811, dig, inspect, build

    The digger notifies OHIO811 at least two working days ahead, footing holes are inspected before concrete, and a final inspection closes the permit.

Who does what is agreed between you and the contractor. The City of Brunswick, for one, advises letting the contractor pull the permit, so the plans and inspections sit with the person doing the work.

About Wadsworth, Ohio

Benjamin Dean felled the first tree in Wadsworth on March 1, 1814, and the town took the name of General Elijah Wadsworth, who owned the largest share of the land that became Medina County but lived in Canfield (City of Wadsworth: early history). It became a village in 1876 and a city in 1931.

Wadsworth is known for Blue Tip strike-anywhere matches, made there until the 1980s and still celebrated at the Blue Tip Festival. Laura Spelman Rockefeller was born in Wadsworth in 1839 (Wikipedia).

Weather and climate in Wadsworth

Wadsworth has a humid continental climate. At Akron-Canton Airport, the nearest long-record station, the 1991 to 2020 normals show 47.2 inches of snow a season and a January mean low of 20.3°F (Wikipedia: Akron climate; NWS Cleveland: Akron-Canton snowfall).

The city calls a snow parking ban once more than 2 to 3 inches falls, which is a reminder to plan deck stairs and landings where shoveled snow has somewhere to go.

Deck Builders questions from Wadsworth property owners

When did Medina County take over Wadsworth residential permits?
The City of Wadsworth says the Medina County Building Department took over residential permits, plan reviews and inspections for 1-, 2- and 3-family dwellings starting January 1, 2025. The county Permit Center is at 791 W. Smith Road, 330-722-9220.
Does Wadsworth still review decks for zoning?
The city's Planning and Zoning office still issues zoning permits, and it says they may be required for work that needs a building permit and sometimes for work that does not. Call 330-335-2753 before applying with the county.
What drawing does Wadsworth want with a deck zoning application?
Wadsworth asks for a site plan or aerial photo showing property lines, existing structures, the proposed project, its setbacks and its height. A deck builder can prepare it from your survey.
Which ZIP codes cover Wadsworth deck projects?
Wadsworth uses ZIP codes 44281 and 44282. Some nearby township addresses also use Wadsworth mailing addresses, so check whether your parcel is inside city limits before applying for zoning.
Who handles plumbing for an outdoor kitchen on a Wadsworth deck?
Plumbing permits and inspections for Wadsworth homes go through the Medina County Health Department, according to the city's building page. Electrical work for lights or fans is permitted through the county building department.
Can a Wadsworth deck be screened in later?
Screening a deck later is common, but the posts, beams and footings must carry a roof. Ohio's code also says insect screening does not count as a guard. See covered decks and porches for what is involved.
Are Western Star addresses in Wadsworth city?
Western Star sits on the line at Greenwich and South Medina Line roads. Its east side is in Norton, in Summit County, and its west side is in Wadsworth Township, so neither side follows Wadsworth city zoning.
What does Wadsworth's snow parking ban mean for deck plans?
The city calls a ban when more than 2 to 3 inches of snow falls or is expected. It does not change deck code, but it is a good reason to place deck stairs where you can shovel a path to the driveway.
How deep do deck footings go in Wadsworth?
Medina County lists a 38-inch frost line in its design table, and the county now permits Wadsworth decks, so footings go at least that deep unless the deck qualifies for the small freestanding pier-block exception.
Can I get a composite deck quote for a Wadsworth home?
Composite and PVC boards can be quoted for new decks or for re-decking a sound frame. Joist spacing has to match the board's labeled span. See composite and PVC decks.
