EGLE Permits
EGLE Permits are required for construction projects in Michigan that might impact that state's natural resources. This is common in zero-lot line construction by homeowners who live near protected areas. The process for getting EGLE permits can take several months and may require progress photos be submitted by your contractor as construction continues. Builders under an EGLE permit are legally responsible for ensuring the project strictly follows all approved drawings and specifications.
