Conceptual review meetings offer the opportunity for developers to have an early, informal review of proposed projects. These are held during a Planning Commission meeting and are free of charge. They are intended to promote a smooth process once formal applications are submitted. To request a conceptual review meeting, please contact the City Manager.
Developer’s Fees
The City accepts cash, check, and credit card payments for development-related fees at Parchment City Hall. You may also call in a credit card payment to 269-349-3785.
Kalamazoo Area Building Authority is the City of Parchment’s building authority. All permits for building, mechanical, plumbing, and electric are obtained through their office at 2322 Nazareth Road, Kalamazoo MI – phone 269-216-9511. Please contact them for pricing.
Curb cutting is allowed through a permit process at City Hall. A driveway permit must be submitted with a deposit of $1000.00 (in case of damages) before a project begins. The Public Works Superintendent will inspect the site before and after the project is completed. If no damage to the curb has occurred the deposit will be returned to the contractor.
