Most Asked
West of the Licking River, PDS of Kenton County handles them after any city zoning step in Covington, Latonia, Ludlow, Fort Wright, and Park Hills. East of it, Newport uses its own building inspector, while Bellevue, Dayton, Southgate, Highland Heights, Fort Thomas, Wilder, Silver Grove, and Melbourne go to Campbell County. Cold Spring checks with both.
