Building In Milford
Inside the Village of Milford, a new home usually goes up on an in-town lot, often in place of an older house.
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.
Milford Requirements
Permits
The village’s Building and Zoning department handles permits, and its Building Official reviews the plans. We prepare and submit the application.
Water And Sewer
The village runs its own water system and has its own position on sewer connections, septic tanks and private wells. We confirm with the village what applies to your lot.
Street Trees
The village says it looks after the trees between the curb and the property line, and it has a Tree Board. We check the current rules with the village before any tree is touched.
Dividing Or Combining Lots
The village has its own application and board for splitting a lot or joining two together. We help settle it before design begins.
