Company Information
The City of Grand Rapids Development Center brings together people from Planning, Building Inspections, Permitting, Engineering, Code Compliance, Fire Department, and others to make it easier for our community to build or renovate buildings in Grand Rapids. Structures need to meet certain standards so they aren't dangerous to the people using them, and so they fit in the community. We call these standards “building codes" and "zoning regulations”.
We also verify that improvements to structures and properties meet our community's standards. This includes where different types of activities are allowed, what building materials are used, how stormwater is managed and how utilities are designed. If you hear talk about “code compliance” we’re talking about making sure buildings and properties meet these standards.
