Historic district first

Toledo painting questions
Do I need approval to repaint in the Old West End?
Exterior changes in a historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness. Ask the Plan Commission whether your repaint qualifies for staff approval.
I rent out an older house. What applies?
Toledo’s Lead Safe ordinance requires a Lead-Safe Certificate for pre-1978 rentals with one to four units.
Does Ohio license painters?
No. The state licenses five commercial trades, and painting is not among them.
When can exterior work start?
Usually in May, once nights stay mild and surfaces dry out.
Do you cover Perrysburg and Maumee?
Yes. Independent painters across the Toledo area can respond.
Will painters test for lead?
Many assume lead is present in pre-1978 homes and work lead-safe. Ask each painter how they handle it.
