Township Permits

A site plan must be submitted to Zoning Administrator for any buildings, ponds, swimming pools and fences.

Arbela Township issues all zoning, building, electrical, plumbing mechanical permits as we have our own inspectors. Tim Anderson is the zoning and building inspector and all permits need to go through him.
