Local Variations

No state license for chimney or home-improvement work, so cities such as Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati register contractors with locally varying fees and bonds — verify on each city site. Commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical still need an OCILB state license.

Caveat: Ohio has no state license for chimney sweeps or home improvement; OCILB licenses only commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical trades. A chimney pro is legitimately unlicensed at the state level — verify credentials with your city and look for CSIA certification.
