Ordinances & Codes

The City of Pickerington adopts local laws called ordinances. These ordinances are codified into a numbered structure to make it easier to organize, find, understand, and change. In addition to these local ordinances, the State of Ohio has laws and rules which local municipalities, like Pickerington, can adopt and enforce, such as the building codes. Pickerington is certified by the Ohio Board of Building Standards to enforce both the 2019 Residential Code of Ohio and the 2017 Ohio Building Code.

For One-, Two-, and Three-family residences, the statewide building code is the 2019 Residential Code of Ohio and the 2017 National Electric Code, which are available online.
