All seven cities in this metro sit in Franklin County, including the park venues in Reynoldsburg (Blacklick Woods Metro Park) and Westerville (Inniswood Metro Gardens, Hoover Reservoir), so the metro resolves to a single issuing office. The court publishes an online application, but both applicants still have to appear in person to be sworn and to receive the license. The license is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance and may be used anywhere in Ohio.
