The City of Monroe is actively engaged with the Monroe Fire Department, Monroe Police Department as well as our local and regional partners with regards to our administrative response to the COVID-19 virus. This response may be modified as further information becomes available.

Effective Monday, June 15, 2020, The City building and Public Works building will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We strongly encourage the continued use of the outside drop box or the drop off area inside the lower level lobby to limit exposure for visitors and staff.

We strongly encourage permits and inquiries be submitted via email or the drop off area as mentioned. Inspections are still being scheduled with National Inspection Corporation (NIC) at 888-433-4642. For questions or submittals contact planning@monroeohio.org or 513-539-7374.
The only entrance to the City Building will be the lower level entrance in the back of the building. Only two people at a time will be able to be assisted and this will only be at the front desk and the tax window on the second floor. Mayor’s Court is also opened during these times.
