Westerville: two separate POD/dumpster approvals
Westerville's permit pages name dumpsters twice: once for the right-of-way and once as a zoning certificate on private property.
- In the street
- "POD/dumpster right of way" is an Engineering Review item. Right-of-way projects go through the Plan Review Portal.
- On your lot
- "POD/dumpster" sits on the list of residential zoning certificates, next to fences, patios and sheds.
- Fee
- Not published for the dumpster items. The city lists a $40 residential zoning fee but does not say it covers a dumpster certificate, so we leave it out.
- Questions
- permit.portal@westerville.org or 614-901-6650.
The city also warns that scammers have emailed fake invoices for development fees. Pay only through the city portal.
