Henrietta Township clarifies building permit requirements

Henrietta Township is reminding residents, from those near the Potato Lakes to the edge of town, that a written building permit is required for any construction or modification projects within the township. This requirement applies to all building work, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

However, the township does not issue permits for electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work. Residents undertaking such specialized projects must check with the county or state for the appropriate permits and licensing requirements, much like one would inquire about dock permits on the headwaters of the Mississippi.

This clarification aims to help property owners navigate the permitting process smoothly and avoid potential issues with their construction projects.
