Which authority governs?

The work follows Indiana’s residential code, with a building permit from the local Indiana office that covers your address and Aurora’s own zoning alongside. If the house is in the older downtown blocks, ask us to check early whether exterior changes such as a new vent need local review.

Updating a Aurora kitchen without losing the house

Aurora (ZIP 47001) is a Dearborn County city on the Ohio River in south-eastern Indiana, a 19th-century river town with a notable architectural legacy and streets climbing the hillside above the waterfront.

The period housing here is genuine and often of real quality, which makes matching new work to surviving original detail the interesting problem. Indiana’s code and permitting apply alongside the city’s own zoning. On the hillside streets, older houses may have settled, and on the lower ground the usual checks beneath the kitchen floor come first.
