The Public Works Department of the City of Lima is charged with the most diverse range of responsibilities of any city department. With an annual budget of $4.7 million, 68 full-time and 62 seasonal employees, the Public Works Department addresses the physical needs of the City including everything from snow plowing to issuance of taxi licenses. This department is comprised of four divisions: Engineering, Building and Zoning, Streets and Parks Recreation and Forestry.


It is only through the resources and support granted by the taxpayers of Lima and the efforts of many dedicated employees that the department is able to provide the myriad of services that make this city an enjoyable, healthy community in which to live.
