Most Dublin basements belong to two-story homes built from the 1980s on, which usually means poured concrete walls, workable ceiling height, and room for a full lower level. On Muirfield Village golf-course lots, sloped yards sometimes allow walk-out or look-out basements with natural light. Newer homes in Ballantrae and Tartan Fields may already have a bathroom rough-in in the slab. Historic Dublin is a different story, with older stone and frame buildings whose foundations need a closer look. The City of Dublin issues the building permits, and HOA rules mostly come into play when a project changes the exterior.

Dublin stretches west from the Scioto River, from the stone storefronts of Historic Dublin and the newer Bridge Park district out to Muirfield Village, home of the Memorial Tournament. Most of the city is suburban neighborhoods built from the 1970s onward, many with active homeowners associations. Dublin spans parts of Franklin, Delaware, and Union counties.
Homes here: Large two-story homes from the 1980s through today, golf-course lots in Muirfield, and newer builds in Ballantrae and Tartan Fields. Historic Dublin has older stone and frame buildings.
Permits and approvals: Dublin issues its own building permits, and properties in Historic Dublin go through the city's Architectural Review Board. Many neighborhoods also have HOA design review. We’ll talk through what applies to your property on the estimate.

HOA design review becomes relevant when the work changes the outside of the house, such as cutting in an egress window or adding a walk-out door. In Historic Dublin, exterior changes go through the city's Architectural Review Board.
