IMPORTANT CHANGES TO PERMIT PROCESS:

Starting Monday September 11th, 2023 Cannon Township will no longer process building permits at the Township Offices, Imperial Municipal Services our long time building inspectors, who have also been reviewing permits will take over the handling of permits. All permits will need to be submitted to the IMS office at 263 Northland Drive Rockford, MI.

A one month grace period will be open until Wednesday October 11th, 2023 for permits to still be dropped off at the Cannon Township Office.

Moving forward, a Zoning Permit will need to be approved by the Zoning Administrator prior to permits being approved by IMS, if your property is within 500 ft. of lakes, rivers, streams or wetlands, a Cannon Township Storm Water permit and Kent County Soil Erosion permit will be required. These items will be identified during the Zoning Permit review. Zoning permits will need to be filled out and dropped off at the Township offices along with Driveway permits and Sewer Permits or emailed to the Zoning Administrator.
