Hello Kelly,
Sounds like you are about to start construction on a dwelling...
Your first call should be to Emmet County Zoning and Building Department. Emmet County handles zoning for 10 Townships(?) in Emmet County, and the other townships have their own zoning. They can guide you on all minimum requirements and the series of required permits.
