The City of Westland is reminding residents to check with the Building Division before starting home improvement projects to see if a permit is required. This includes projects such as installing a new air conditioning system, renovating a bathroom, or getting a new furnace. A permit provides legal permission to start construction and ensures the project meets local and state requirements.
Residents can contact the Building Division to learn if their project requires a permit. Separate permits are needed for electrical, plumbing, and heating or air-conditioning work. The city will review the application for compliance with local and state requirements before issuing a permit.
This reminder is important for Westland residents as it helps ensure their home improvement projects are done safely and in accordance with local regulations. It also helps the city track and monitor construction activity within the community.
For more information, residents can visit the City of Westland's website. The city has also provided a notice to homeowners regarding new refrigerants for central air conditioning systems, which can be found on their website.
It has not been announced what the next steps are for residents who have already started home improvement projects without a permit. However, residents can contact the Building Division to inquire about the permit process and what is required for their specific project.
