Introduction In the construction industry time is money and delays associated with permitting and approvals add to the cost of projects.  The permitting and zoning process can be cumbersome, frustrating and time consuming for those not familiar with the road map and nuances of the processes for each municipality and governmental agency.  The creation of the Guide to Permitting and Zoning (Guide) for Cheboygan County is the result and collaboration of stakeholders in Northern Lower Michigan to assist individuals and businesses involved with construction and development projects.   

Purpose The primary goals of the Guide are to both act as a quick reference as well as educate individuals, seasoned contractors, and developers with the know‐how needed to access critical information in the approval process prior to applying for permits or undertaking a project within a county or municipality.  The applicant or contractor should always contact the local Zoning Administrator, plan reviewer, or permit agent of the various agencies prior to beginning a project.     The Guide is not intended to be a “Do‐It‐Yourself” tool.  Each project is different and following the flowcharts included in the Guide does not guarantee that a permit or approval will be issued at the end of the process.  Applicants and Contractors are encouraged to seek the assistance of local professionals who have experience in dealing with the requirements of permits and approvals.    An understanding of the permitting and approval process will improve the efficiency of the process for both the private and public sector, in return creating a more successful project from the onset.  Related Links:  Northern Lakes Economic Alliance http://www.northernlakes.net  Northeast Michigan Council of Governments http://www.nemcog.org/  Cheboygan County http://www.cheboygancounty.net/
