Building Permits
Lyndon Township, along with Sylvan, Dexter, Lima, and Sharon Townships and the City of Chelsea participate in the Chelsea Area Construction Agency . All building permits (construction, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and soil erosion) are issued through this agency, rather than Washtenaw County.
Building Permits are required for all building regardless of use and number of acres owned. This includes such home improvements as plumbing, electrical, mechanical (heating and air conditioning), decks, swimming pools, siding, roofing, replacement windows and out buildings. This (C.A.C.A.) agency will also perform required inspections of the work.
The Chelsea Area Construction Agency is located at 12172 Jackson Rd., Dexter MI 48130. (Near Fletcher Rd. and I-94) The phone number is (734)475-4420.
