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 the office visiting properties.


A reminder that our Township Hall is available

for rent by the weekday evening or all day!

Host your meetings or parties (maximum occupancy of 50)
