Building Department

Responsibilities of The Township Building Department:

The primary function of the Building Department is the administration and enforcement of the State of Michigan Building Codes. These standards serve to protect the health, safety and welfare of the general public. The Building Department provides convenient local access to construction permits and inspection services as required under the Michigan Building Codes.

Community Building Services

Community Building Services (CBS) is an intergovernmental partnership between DeWitt Charter Township, the City of DeWitt and the City of Grand Ledge.  CBS provides a unique opportunity for all 3 municipalities to increase efficiency in processing and inspecting all Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing and Utility Permit Applications for Residential and Commercial properties.

Building Safety

Safety is always our top priority. Prior to beginning any project that involves excavation work, please go to Michigan Utility Notification Center - MISS Dig to verify the location of any underground utility lines.
