Deck builders in Alexandria, Ohio.

Alexandria is its own incorporated village, not just a St. Albans Township address, and the permit sequence runs through two desks: the Village issues its own zoning permit first, then Licking County issues the building permit. We keep that order straight so your application does not bounce back to step one.

HOW A ALEXANDRIA DECK PERMIT ACTUALLY WORKS

Two desks, in order. The county will not open a building-permit file until the village has signed off on zoning.

STEP 01 · VILLAGE ZONING
Village of Alexandria Zoning Permit
The Village of Alexandria issues its own zoning permit, a separate document from the county building permit, before anything else moves. The village office keeps limited hours (Monday through Wednesday, plus Thursday and Friday by appointment only), so we confirm a slot before we file rather than showing up to a closed door.
STEP 02 · COUNTY BUILDING PERMIT
Licking County Building Code Department
The Licking County Building Code Department issues the actual building permit and runs inspections, same office and same deck-specific handouts we use for every Licking County job.

Alexandria stayed its own incorporated village on purpose: in 2018, residents voted against dissolving it into St. Albans Township by a wide margin, which is why the village still runs its own zoning desk today instead of folding into the township's. We confirm the current fee and turnaround with both desks before we file, since the village does not publish fee amounts online and we would rather quote you a real number than a guess.

WHAT WE SEE OUT HERE

Alexandria lots, up close.

Alexandria is a small village, and that shapes both how the permit desk runs and what a deck project here actually looks like.

A village that voted to stay a village
Residents rejected folding Alexandria into St. Albans Township in 2018. The village still runs its own zoning desk as a result, separate from the township that surrounds it.
Small office, real hours to work around
The village office is open limited hours midweek and by appointment Thursday and Friday. We build our filing schedule around that instead of assuming a walk-in counter.
A village-scale Main Street
The Alexandria Museum, a small house museum on Main Street, sits in the middle of a village of under 500 people. Lots here run closer to old village scale than the newer subdivisions in neighboring towns.

ALEXANDRIA QUESTIONS

Asked at the door, answered here.

Do I need a permit from the village, the township, or the county?
The village, then the county, if your address is inside Alexandria itself. The Village of Alexandria issues its own zoning permit first, and Licking County issues the building permit after. St. Albans Township handles zoning for the unincorporated area around the village, not inside it.
Why does Alexandria have its own zoning desk instead of using the township?
Because it's its own incorporated village. Residents voted in 2018 to keep it that way rather than dissolve into St. Albans Township, so the village government, including zoning, is still separate today.
Is the village office easy to reach for a permit?
It keeps limited hours, midweek plus appointment-only Thursday and Friday, so we confirm a time before we go rather than assume a walk-in counter is open.
Is Alexandria too small a village for a full deck build?
No. Small village, same crew, same framing discipline and permit process we run everywhere else in the county, just through the village desk first.
