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 fee free 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.

Application(s) & Site Plan(s)
Inaccurate and incomplete applications or site plans will not be processed and shall be returned. An application is not complete if payment arrangements have not been made. Payment is required before any permit is issued. The site plan is a key document for reviewing and either approving or rejecting a permit application. The applicant is responsible for accurately putting together the requested information – including all dimensions – on the site plan, such as, but not limited to, property lines, road frontage, utility easements, septic system, well, driveways, fencing, and all existing and new structures. Contact the Township Office at (231) 526-8140 about an appointment to discuss or meet with you at any stage of your planning process.
