A deck in Sharon Center, Ohio needs a Sharon Township zoning certificate before the county building permit. Section 800-1 of the township zoning resolution requires an application to the zoning inspector before constructing or altering any building, including accessory buildings, with a plot plan showing the location, dimensions and height (Sharon Township Zoning Resolution).
Sharon Center is the unincorporated hub of Sharon Township, a 26.1-square-mile township on the east side of Medina County with 5,966 residents at the 2020 census. The community itself had 918 (Wikipedia: Sharon Center).
A request through this site goes to a local deck builder who can quote a new deck, a front or back porch or a pergola and help with the plot plan.
How does Sharon Township handle a deck zoning certificate?
The zoning inspector acts on a complete application within ten days, approving it if it complies and the fee is paid, or refusing it. If the work has not started within two years, the certificate is revoked and a new application is needed under the rules in force at that time.

How a Sharon Center request works
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.
