About the Building and Property Maintenance Department

The Building Department administers all plan reviews and inspections required to process State of Michigan permits. The Department also handles compliance with the Property Maintenance Code. Forms are available in the Public Documents area or at the Township Offices.

The Building Department Webpage can provide you with useful information regarding the State of Michigan Building Codes that are required in Alpine Township and what type of work requires permits.

The Property Maintenance Webpage can provide you with information regarding the required use, maintenance, occupancy and repair of buildings and properties in Alpine Township.

Department Hours are Monday-Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. Inspection requests for permits and property maintenance issues are usually inspected the same day they are requested. We ask that you request your site visit before 10:00am so our inspectors will be able to accomodate your schedule.

Property Maintenance issues and complaints should be directed to the Building Official, Gary Campbell

If you have code questions please contact us at 784-9090
