Go to the Gallery Tab for Arial Photos and USGS Maps.

Reminder: Under state law, Group Day Care (6-12 chihldren) requires a Special Use Permit.

For Special Use permits or amendments to a Special Use permit, both a Special Use Permit application and Fee, as well as a Site Plan Review application and fee are required (Group Day Care applications require only a Special Use application). Download both forms below. You may apply sequentially, securing the Special Use Permit first and then come back for Site plan review. You may also apply concurrently and receive both the Special Use Permit Review and Site Plan Review at the same meeting. The township board must approve Special Use Permits after the Planning Commission's review and recommendation. Concurrent applications save time, sequential applications may save money if the Use Permit is turned down.

For Rezonings and Text Amendments, Download the Applicaton under the "Rezoning and Text Amendments" Setion.
