BUILDING SERVICES


Plainfield Charter Township Building Permit Process 

Plainfield Township contracts with Cascade Township to provide complete building services - trades permits (electrical, mechanical, plumbing), building permits, and building inspections. Cascade Township is responsible for the administration of all building services. 

The building permit application through Cascade Township includes a zoning application. Plainfield Township will review the zoning application for compliance and will conduct a final zoning inspection for new build residential & commercial projects.  The zoning application and site plan will be submitted to Cascade Township as part of the building permit process. 

Please see the links to the left to their online submittal for applications and inspections. Should you choose to submit paper copies of the application and materials, please drop them off at the Plainfield Charter Township office – 6161 Belmont Ave. NE, Belmont, Michigan, 49306.
