Building Certificates
Building Certificates are required and should be posted when performing maintenance to homes. Examples of maintenance include painting, plaster repairs, siding, and replacing a door or windows.
Building Permits
Building permits are required for all new construction, pools, roofs, decks, fences, additions, repairs, etc. to your home. If your home is located in a high erosion or critical dune area, you will need a EGLE (formerly DEQ) permit prior to applying for a building permit with the Village.

Sand Donation Request
As you may be aware, the Village of Grand Beach has a steady need for sand to use in Village improvements, including projects at Village parks, pathways, the golf course, and beaches. Sand removed for private building projects in the Village is often collected in trucks and transported by contractors outside of the Village.
In an effort to keep this important natural resource within the Village, the Village allows property owners to donate extra sand to the Village for use in public improvements. Any property owner who is removing sand for a permitted building project who is interested in donating sand to the Village of Grand Beach may contact Bob Dabbs at 269-469-1270.
