CHANGE IN BUILDING PERMIT
PROCEDURES
Effective October 14, 2009,
the following changes will be implemented:
1. Any questions by
residents and/or contractors regarding building and/or zoning
regulations will be directed to Fred Smith, Liberty Township
Building Official at (517) 788-3813 or Jay Niles, Liberty
Township Zoning Administrator at (517) 937-2579. Office
staff should not answer questions regarding code restrictions or
requirements.
2. The Zoning Compliance
Permit inspection must be completed and approved prior to
submission of the Building Permit Application. All
Building Permit Applications must be accompanied by 2 complete
sets of plans (one to be returned to the applicant). Plans
should include all changes to be made to the property.
3. A STOP WORK ORDER
will be issued on any project started without proper permits.
Construction without property permits is a violation of the
Zoning Ordinance and the property owner may be subject to a fine
of not more than five hundred ($500.00) dollars and the costs of
prosecution thereof, by imprisonment in the County Jail for a
period not to exceed thirty (30) days, or both. Each day that a
violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate
offense. The imposition of any sentence shall not exempt the
offender from compliance with the requirements of the Ordinance.
4. The state building
code now requires inspection of new or upgraded roofing projects
on heated buildings. Liberty Township will now be issuing
building permits for one inspection to ensure that the frost
guard underlayment is installed in a proper fashion. Any
questions please contact Fred Smith at the number listed above.
REMINDER: Zoning
Compliance Permits are required on ALL building projects.
Some agricultural buildings may be exempt from building permits,
but are still required to comply with all ordinances and
regulations.
CHANGE IN ASSESSOR'S OFFICE HOURS
Effective August 24, 2009, the
assessor's day in the township will change from Fridays to
Mondays. It is recommended to
contact the
assessor to make an appointment if you need to speak with
her as appraisal duties sometimes require time spent outside of
