This is your one-stop-shop for how-to answers, permit forms, instructions and specifications. Choose from the permits or forms below. For each, there is a short introduction and directions page and then the form itself.

We hope this will make the permit process more efficient and convenient for the people of Oakland County as you correspond with the Permits Department. We welcome your comments. You can send them to permits@rcoc.org.
