Do I need a permit in East Lansing?
On a private driveway or lot, no permit. To occupy any street with materials, East Lansing requires a permit from the building official and/or city engineer, and may require a cash deposit and an insurance certificate (Code § 38-37). The fee is set each year by council resolution rather than published in the code, so we confirm the current amount with the city before quoting you.
