The City of West Carrollton contracts with a company called SAFEbuilt (https://safebuilt.com/) for building official services. These services include reviewing building permit applications and plans as well as conducting inspections of building projects, to ensure they meet state building code safety requirements. SAFEbuilt officials will be clearly identifiable in the community by carrying City IDs, and they will also have their SAFEbuilt IDs, be wearing SAFEbuilt apparel, and have SAFEbuilt magnetic signs on their vehicles to identify themselves to West Carrollton citizens. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Planning & Community Development at (937) 859-5783 or email [email protected].
