Pleasantview Township Michigan

The Planning, Zoning, and Enforcement Department is here to support your plans, the growth of our Township, and is responsible to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the community – those many things that people admire and reasons for visiting and living in the area. A zoning permit is required before erecting, moving, or altering the exterior of any building or structure. This includes decks, sheds of any kind, and temporary structures. A permit is also required prior to any excavation or filling of any land, such as, driveways, septic systems, and similar projects. A permit is required to erect any fencing. Don’t forget that signage requires a permit with some exceptions for residential events such as garage sales.
