Custom Home Builder Bingham Farms, MI
Building In Bingham Farms
Bingham Farms is small enough that the village takes a personal interest in each new home.
We work alongside your architect or designer. They lead the design. We help make sure it fits the lot and the village’s rules, keep you informed at every step, and build it with care.
Bingham Farms Requirements
Start With The Village Office
The village asks residents to talk to the village office before starting work on the outside of a home or a new one. We make that call with you.
Who Approves The Plans
The village’s advisers and the City of Southfield’s Building Department approve plans for a new home, and the village’s Planning Commission may also look at them. We take the plans through each review.
Permits And Inspections
The village uses the City of Southfield for building services, so Southfield issues most permits and does the inspections, and the village signs off at the end. We work with both.
This page is general information, not legal advice or an official answer. The Village of Bingham Farms decides what is allowed on each property, and its rules change. For anything official, the Village of Bingham Farms is on (248) 644-0044.
Questions About Building In Bingham Farms
Why does the City of Southfield issue permits for Bingham Farms?
The village’s page says Bingham Farms uses the City of Southfield for its building services, so Southfield’s Building Department issues most permits and does the inspections. The village reviews the plans first with its own advisers. We handle both for you.
What is the first step for a new home in Bingham Farms?
A conversation with the village office. The village asks for this before any work on the outside of a home, and we are happy to make that call with you.
Does the Bingham Farms Planning Commission look at plans for a new home?
The village’s page says its planning and engineering advisers approve the plans before building starts, and the Planning Commission may also look at them, depending on the project. We prepare the plans for that review with your designer.
What does Bingham Farms ask for when a new home is finished?
As published, the village may ask for a few extra things before it signs off, such as a landscape plan. We find out early what the village wants for your home, so the finish is not a rush.
Does Bingham Farms publish a list for taking down an older house?
The village does not publish a separate list for this, and whether a house may come down is the village’s decision for each property. The first step is the same: a conversation with the village office. We check with the village what it asks for on your property.
