SECTION I – General Information
2013 <strong>Cheboygan</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> to <strong>Permitting</strong> and <strong>Zoning</strong> 1<br />
Introduction<br />
In the construction industry time is money and delays associated with permitting and approvals add to<br />
the cost of projects. The permitting and zoning process can be cumbersome, frustrating and time<br />
consuming for those not familiar with the road map and nuances of the processes for each municipality<br />
and governmental agency. The creation of the <strong>Guide</strong> to <strong>Permitting</strong> and <strong>Zoning</strong> (<strong>Guide</strong>) for <strong>Cheboygan</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> is the result and collaboration of stakeholders in Northern Lower Michigan to assist individuals<br />
and businesses involved with construction and development projects.<br />
Purpose<br />
The primary goals of the <strong>Guide</strong> are to both act as a quick reference as well as educate individuals,<br />
seasoned contractors, and developers with the know‐how needed to access critical information in the<br />
approval process prior to applying for permits or undertaking a project within a county or municipality.<br />
The applicant or contractor should always contact the local <strong>Zoning</strong> Administrator, plan reviewer, or<br />
permit agent of the various agencies prior to beginning a project.<br />
The <strong>Guide</strong> is not intended to be a “Do‐It‐Yourself” tool. Each project is different and following the<br />
flowcharts included in the <strong>Guide</strong> does not guarantee that a permit or approval will be issued at the end<br />
of the process. Applicants and Contractors are encouraged to seek the assistance of local professionals<br />
who have experience in dealing with the requirements of permits and approvals.<br />
An understanding of the permitting and approval process will improve the efficiency of the process for<br />
both the private and public sector, in return creating a more successful project from the onset.<br />
