Do I need a building permit?

Any structure over 100 square feet is required to have a Land Use Permit. All additions to existing structures (porches, garages, enclosure of a patios, etc.) are required to have a Land Use Permit no matter what the size. The definition of structure is "any man-made object having an ascertainable stationary location on or in land or water, whether or not affixed to the land." This also includes temporary structures and buildings not on permanent foundations. All signs are required to have a permit to place them on a property.

Antrim Township has 15 days to review a Land Use Permit, and you must have your permit posted on your property prior to any construction. Please be sure to judge your time accordingly.
