Aging in Place Funding in Ohio

Ohio has state-level licensing through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (OCILB) for specialty trades including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, hydronics, and refrigeration. General residential contractor licensing is handled at the local level and varies by jurisdiction. Workers' compensation requirements vary by area (e.g., required in Cincinnati but not uniformly statewide). For Medicaid waiver-funded work, contractors must be Medicaid-certified providers with background checks, business license, insurance, and appropriate credentials. Verify statewide licenses at OCILB; check with local building departments for general contractor requirements.
