About each permit
Veterinary Business Facility License
The scope matters more than the fee: this is not a general veterinary premises registration, and a practice owned by its vets does not need it. It applies only where a majority controlling interest is held by people who are not Ohio-licensed veterinarians, or where a majority of a nonprofit's directors are not — which catches corporate and private-equity-owned clinics, retail chain clinics and many shelter clinics, and leaves the ordinary vet-owned practice out. Renewal is $300 and the window is narrow: applications are accepted only between 1 and 30 April in odd-numbered years. Note the license runs on a different clock from the individual veterinarian license, which expires on 1 March. Any change of facility name, address, responsible veterinarian or owning entity must be reported in writing within ninety days.
