Check the township, not the mailing label

A Redford Township address should be reviewed under the Township’s Building and Safety process. Its page provides a building and zoning permit application. For an addition or deck, start with the parcel, plot plan, and proposed dimensions so the Township can identify any zoning issue before the construction details are fixed.

Compare the yard and the interior

An exterior expansion can improve one room while blocking a window or constricting a route through the home. Sketch how the new footprint changes light, entry, and yard use. Photograph the site after rain if drainage is a concern, and mark utilities or trees that may constrain access.

Use an address-specific answer

Ask which documents are needed for the exact work, whether a trade permit follows the building permit, and when inspections occur. Put those answers in the project brief so a contractor proposal covers the same work the Township will review.
