Building Permits

The Building Department issues all building permits within the limits of the City of Ypsilanti.  It is important to secure a building permit to ensure that your project is structurally sound and complies with building and zoning codes.
 
The Building Department has a minimum  of 10 business days to review permit applications.  Please allow the necessary time when scheduling your project.  
 
A building permit is required for new construction, alterations, and structural changes to an existing building.  If you are not sure if your project requires a building permit, please contact our office.
