HB 5935 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Construction: permits; notice requirements for a building permit or additional permit issued by the department; provide. Amends sec. 11 of 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1511).

This bill updates Michigan's construction code to set strict deadlines for state and local agencies reviewing building permit applications. Agencies must now decide on permit requests within 10 business days, or 15 days for unusually complex projects, with failure to meet these deadlines automatically treating the application as denied. Additionally, the bill requires agencies to explain the reasons for any denial and mandates that incomplete applications be addressed within seven days or treated as complete.
