Deck projects in Seville, Ohio start with the village zoning inspector. Section 1304.01 of the Seville Zoning Ordinance says no building or other structure may be erected, added to or structurally altered without a permit from the zoning inspector, and the ordinance defines structures to include decks and patios.
Seville is a 2.6-square-mile village in southern Medina County with 2,335 residents at the 2020 census, sitting where SR 3 meets I-76 (Wikipedia: Seville). The village describes itself as a walkable small town with sidewalks and connected trails.
A request here goes to a local deck builder who can quote a new deck, a front porch or railings and apply for the village permit.
How far must a detached structure sit from Seville lot lines?
Section 405.01 says detached garages and other accessory buildings in residential districts must be at least 5 feet from side and rear property lines and behind the main house. No accessory building or structure may sit less than 15 feet from the principal building, and the height limit is 25 feet.
That affects freestanding pergolas and gazebos more than decks attached to the house.
Who issues the building permit for a deck in Seville?
Seville Village is on the Medina County Building Department's inspector list, so the county issues the building permit after the village zoning permit. The village zoning inspector is reached at zoninginspector@villageofseville.org.

Send the request
The address, rough size and what you want the deck to do.
Site visit
The deck builder measures, checks the house band where a ledger would attach, and notes slope and access.
Design and quote
Layout, boards, railing and stairs, with a written price.
Zoning, then the building permit
Township, village or city zoning comes first where it applies; the building permit follows.
Call OHIO811, dig, inspect, build
The digger notifies OHIO811 at least two working days ahead, footing holes are inspected before concrete, and a final inspection closes the permit.
Who does what is agreed between you and the contractor. The City of Brunswick, for one, advises letting the contractor pull the permit, so the plans and inspections sit with the person doing the work.
