If you are planning on constructing any building other than a single or double family dwelling, you will need to review your plans with the State Fire Marshal's Office. This would include any addition to an existing building or conversion of an existing building to another use. |

Before constructing any building (including mobile homes) for human occupancy or use, a permit is required for a sewage disposal system and water supply system unless public water and public sewerage is available. If the building will utilize onsite water supply and sewage disposal, before approval for a use and occupancy permit can be approved by this office a Certificate of Potability for a well must be issued and the septic system must be inspected. This office must review any addition or alteration to an existing building or septic system. Before subdividing land or offering lots for sale, it is necessary to have the lots evaluated for sewage disposal and have a plat prepared. A permit is required for a public swimming pool, food service facility, bathing beach, camping area, or mobile home park and plans must be submitted for approval before construction begins. Proposed businesses which may be a source of air or water pollution must comply with all MDE requirements, i.e. an air quality permit to construct for fuel burning equipment, paint spray booths, chemical processing, etc. Also, any commercial or residential open burning activity requires an air quality control permit. |
