Building In West Bloomfield
Lots in West Bloomfield come in every kind: wooded lots, lots near the water, and established streets where an older house is ready to be replaced.
We work alongside your architect or designer. They lead the design. We help make sure it fits the lot and the township’s rules, keep you informed at every step, and build it with care.
West Bloomfield Requirements
Trees And Woodlands
The township’s pages describe parts of West Bloomfield as protected woodland, where cutting trees calls for its approval. We check the current rules for your address before any tree is touched.
Wetlands, Lakes And Streams
The township’s page describes protection for wetlands and streams and lists permits for building near water. We handle the applications with you.
How Big Your Home Can Be
The township’s zoning rules set limits on the size, height and position of a home, depending on the area the lot is in. We go through them with your designer and confirm with the township.
Taking Down An Old House
The township decides this for each property, and its page lists a permit with a set of items to provide first. We check with the township for your address and gather them.
Permits
The township describes a process that starts with a meeting with its building staff and ends with a final certificate. We look after each step and keep you posted.
Water And Sewer
The township describes its public water and sewer lines, though some older homes still have their own well or septic tank. We check what is there for your address.

Questions About Building In West Bloomfield
What does West Bloomfield Township say about cutting trees in a protected woodland?
The township sets the rules for trees. Its pages describe an approval for trees in a protected woodland, or within 25 feet of a wetland or stream. We check the current rules for your address with the township, and a homeowners association may have its own rules too.
My lot is near a lake or a wetland. Can I still build?
That is the township’s decision for each lot. Its page describes protection for the wetland and a 25-foot strip around it. We look at the lot with you early and plan around what the township confirms.
What does West Bloomfield Township ask for before an old house is taken down?
Whether a house may come down is the township’s decision for each property. Its page lists a permit, with the utilities shut off and the neighbors told first.
How often does West Bloomfield’s Woodland Review Board look at tree requests?
The township says the board meets once a month and asks for the request at least four weeks ahead. It does not publish one set time for a new home permit, and it depends on the lot. When we talk, we will give you a realistic picture for your own project.
Are West Bloomfield homes on public water and sewer, or on a well and septic tank?
The township describes public water and sewer lines, and some older homes still use a well or a septic tank. Send us the address and we will check with the township for you.
