Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Hulbert Township, Michigan

Rules another office applies inside Hulbert Township

Hulbert Township does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Building permitRequired

  Construction covered by the building permit process of the Chippewa County Building Department. The page does not name Hulbert township, so coverage of land inside Hulbert township is not confirmed on an official page.

  • Permits shall be obtained and posted before work starts; construction may proceed only after the permit is issued.
  • The page says county and township site plan review and application forms are approved by township zoning administrators and the Chippewa County building inspector, but it does not say which Hulbert township officials, if any, are involved.

  “building permit process: permits shall be obtained and posted prior to starting work.”

• InspectionsRequired

  Electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits and their inspections in Chippewa County, performed by State of Michigan inspectors. The page does not name Hulbert township, so coverage inside Hulbert township is not confirmed.

  • Structural building inspection by the county building inspector is not described on the page; only the trade inspections are listed by name.
