Building or Renovating?

Have questions about what projects require what permits? Check out our FAQ's before starting any projects. We encourage you to contact City Hall if you are unsure of the process. Just because the project may not require a specific permit, it most likely requires Zoning approval.

Special events such as carnivals, 5K/marathons, parades, etc. requires a 'Special Events Permit'. Submittal of the permit 30 calendar days in advance is encouraged. Download a copy of the permit above, and/or contact the City Clerk at 616-997-9731 for questions.
