Our goal is to keep our township safe, beautiful, and orderly. We achieve this by fairly enforcing our adopted zoning ordinances.
If you suspect a zoning violation, you must submit a formal request. We do not investigate anonymous complaints or verbal reports.
To file a complaint, download and complete the Record of Complaint Form.
Submit the form to the Zoning Department via email at Keenetwpzoningadmin@gmail.com or drop it off at 8505 Potters Rd. Saranac MI 48881
If a zoning violation is identified on your property, our primary goal is to work with you to achieve voluntary compliance.
For a complete breakdown of timelines, grace periods, fines, and legal remedies, please review our full Zoning Enforcement Policy. Residents are expected to read and follow this policy to correct any issues promptly.
