Home Remodeling in Clinton Township

Clinton Township names decks, basement finishes, egress windows, and additions in its minor residential permit guidance. Its drawing checklist helps set the scope.

Residential projects / Metro Detroit

Bring the three required pieces

Clinton Township’s minor residential permit guidance calls for an application, drawings with a wall section, and a plot plan or mortgage survey showing structures and the proposed location. It lists decks, basement finishing, egress windows, and additions among typical projects. Use that list to ask a precise question about your own plan.

Plan the whole basement or yard

For a basement, note drainage history, equipment access, ceiling height, and the intended use of each room. For a deck, draw doors, grade changes, steps, and outdoor circulation. The plot and the floor plan should describe the same project.

Keep review ahead of construction

Ask who prepares the drawings and responds to Township comments. Hold orders for structural components until the design is settled. Schedule inspections before concealed framing or utilities are covered, and retain the final records with the home.
