IMPORTANT UPDATE

BATAVIA, OHIO (April 10, 2025) – Homes and businesses whose utilities have been turned off must be inspected before gas or electric can be reconnected. However, residents no longer need to complete an application or call Permit Central to initiate the process.

Clermont County’s Building Division has a list all affected properties and is going door to door with the New Richmond Fire Department to perform inspections. Duke Energy is on site to restore gas and electric as inspections are completed.

If residents or businesses would like to schedule their inspection, please call Permit Central to arrange a date and time: (513) 732-732-7213, option 9.

Inspectors will continue visiting properties through Saturday.

As a reminder, there is no cost for flood-related permits.
