information for new residents

Hello! Mayor Ben Kessler here. Welcome to Bexley! I am glad you have chosen to make Bexley your new home, and while I’m obviously biased, I don’t think you could have chosen a better community in which to work, live, and play. On this page and throughout our website, you’ll find useful information to get you up and running and informed about the City of Bexley.  

You will quickly learn that Bexley is a close-knit and accessible community. Your elected officials all work hard to be responsive and accessible, so if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at mayor@bexley.org or at (614) 559-4210.

To stay connected to what is going on in the community, sign up for the Bexley Blast at the bottom of this page! Again, an enthusiastic and warm welcome to Bexley!

Additional Information for New Residents

Code Enforcement Overview

Bexley City Code establishes a minimum standard that structures and exterior property are to meet. For an overview of Bexley code specifications, please visit the Code Enforcement page.

In almost all cases of a citation, there will be two violation notices distributed to the home owner explaining the violation and then a grace period allowing the owner to resolve the violation(s).

Senior Discount on Water and Refuse Bill

Residents 60+ years of age are eligible to receive a 10% discount on refuse portion of their quarterly refuse and water bill. The individual on file must be the head of the household or the account holder. Along with the application form (link below), we will need a copy of the account holder's drivers license, or any identification, that has the birthdate and proof of address.

To apply for a discount, please complete this form.

Completed forms can be emailed to to jmercurio@bexley.org, or dropped off in-person at Bexley City Hall, 2242 E. Main Street, Bexley, Ohio 43209.

Bexley Leash Laws

Bexley is full of animal lovers and has an active population of pet owners. However, Bexley law requires (Chapter 618 of Bexley City Code) that dog owners keep their dogs on leash at all times while walking. Also, dog owners are prohibited from allowing their dogs to run at large upon public property or on others' property. Please pick up after your dog while walking. Click here to view the City of Bexley Codified Ordinances.

Note: No dogs, leashed or unleashed, are permitted at Bexley parks, including Jeffrey Mansion.
