Where do I get a permit to install, remove, abandon, upgrade or repair tanks?
A. If your local fire department has been granted delegated authority by the State Fire Marshal to issue permits and perform inspections, contact the fire department for the permit. Please contact BUSTR to determine if your local fire department has delegation of authority. If you local fire department is not delegated, the UST owner or operator must apply for a BUSTR permit. If you are the “owner” of a registered facility, you can apply for a permit online. Otherwise, you must contact the Bureau of Licensing and Certification at (614-752-7126) to request an application be mailed to you or you can download the “Permit Application” form from the web site at www.com.ohio.gov/fire/BUSTMain.aspx by clicking on “Online Office.” A BUSTR permit is valid for 180 days upon issuance. Any work needing performed on or after the 180 day expiration date requires a new permit. Ai addition, contact your local fire department to determine if a additional permit is required. The BUSTR permit fee is $35.
