The Livingston County Department of Planning is dedicated to guiding growth and development in Livingston County through sound planning and zoning practices. 
The Michigan Planning Enabling Act, Act 33 of 2008, and the Michigan
Zoning Enabling Act, Act 110 of 2006 provide the legislative framework by which our department staff and appointed County Planning Commissioners manage the planning and zoning functions of county government.

Together we recognize the importance of achieving a desired quality of life through comprehensive community planning.  We strive to provide programs and services that will assist the sixteen townships, two villages and two cities within Livingston County towards achieving that goal.
