When does a permit expire?
|
A
permit is good for 6 months upon issuance. If there is recorded
activity on that permit, such as an inspection in the first 6
months, a 6 month extension will be given. If there is no recorded
activity on a permit within the first 6 months, the permit will
become invalid. Cancelled or invalid permits cannot be refunded or
reinstated. |
How do I get a Certificate of Occupancy?
|
You must complete an application for
certificate of occupancy. ALL final inspections relating
to the project have to be completed and approved prior to making the
application for certificate of occupancy. All outstanding
re-inspection fees must be paid prior to the certificate of occupancy
being issued. Please note it is unlawful to use or occupy a structure
without a certificate of use and occupancy under Michigan Complied Law
125.1513. |
