Do I need a permit?Livonia demolition rules, utilities and property checks.
The requirements depend on the structure, the work and the property’s jurisdiction. These are the official starting points for checking your job. Confirm with the building office before teardown day. How shed demolition permits work ↗
Demolition needs a permit
The Inspection Department says you generally need a building permit to remove or demolish a building or other structure, and that a building can be anything from a tool shed to a house. Its demolition procedure starts with a Demolition Permit application filed at (734) 466-2580. City code charges $0.10 per square foot to wreck structures up to 30,000 sq. ft., with a $75 minimum; the department's administration fee is $45.

Utility releases and inspections
The demolition procedure asks for written releases from the electric, gas, phone and cable companies and the City Water Department, and a plumbing permit to inspect any capped water or sewer line. It requires an open-hole inspection and a final once debris is removed and the ground is graded. Work in the public right-of-way needs an Engineering permit with a $500 refundable deposit and a $7 fee.

Wiring work needs an electrical permit
Livonia's electrical permit sheet says no one may alter or change electrical conductors or equipment without a permit. A homeowner may pull it for work on an owner-occupied single-family home and its outbuildings; otherwise a licensed electrical contractor is needed.
Can I dispose of it myself?City pickup rules, drop-off options and fees for shed debris.
Will Livonia pick up shed debris?
No. Livonia's sanitation FAQ says no construction materials will be collected at the curb; they must go to the dump or a special pickup is needed. Free large-item pickup covers household furnishings and appliances, two items a week. For a special pickup, call Priority Waste at (586) 228-1200.

Only City-licensed haulers may collect building refuse
Livonia has no exclusive demolition-debris hauler, but its code makes it unlawful to be in the business of collecting building refuse in the city without a City license. Building refuse means waste from demolition, construction, remodeling and repair, and the code says the building or demolition contractor should remove it. The license is filed with the City Clerk, needs Public Works approval and a bond, and costs $50 for the first truck and $20 for each added truck. Household trash pickup belongs to the City's contractor alone.
Livonia Code ch. 13.36: Municipal Refuse Disposal System ↗Livonia Code ch. 5.03: General Licensing Procedure (license fees) ↗
The City dump takes only a wheelbarrow of building material
Livonia's Refuse Disposal Site on Glendale is for Livonia households only. It takes small amounts of building material, up to a wheelbarrow full, including shingles and concrete. A whole shed has to go somewhere else.
Shed chemicals: year-round drop-off at ERG
Livonia residents can bring paint, stain, pesticides, gasoline and other household hazardous waste to ERG Environmental Services at 13040 Merriman Road, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents pay $5 for every 100 pounds; latex paint is 75 cents a pound. Call Public Works at (734) 466-2655.
Photos that explain the job.
- The whole shed, with the roof, doors and rough dimensions
- What it sits on: slab, gravel, pavers, skids or blocks
- The route out: gates, steps, slopes and the narrowest gap

COMMON QUESTIONS
A few more answers.
How much does shed removal cost in Livonia?
Shed Gone prices each shed from your photos, with teardown, haul-away and cleanup included. Among other companies, LoadUp lists $94 to $1,559 for a shed in Wayne County, depending on size, condition and type.
Where can a whole shed's worth of debris go?
Woodland Meadows Landfill on Hannan Road in Wayne lists construction and demolition debris among the materials it accepts. WM's page posts no public prices, so call before you load up.
Can I recycle the shed lumber?
Clean, unpainted wood and plywood can go to the Mid-Michigan Recycling Center's wood yard on Glendale, free for Livonia residents with a driver's license and proof of residency. Painted or treated wood, and wood with large bolts or metal angle iron, is refused.
What about a metal shed?
Livonia's Drop-Off Recycling Center on Glendale takes larger scrap metal such as frames and folding chairs. Break metal shed panels down and strip off any wood or plastic first.
Is an old shed an asbestos job?
Not under the federal rule for most homes. Michigan EGLE says privately owned homes with four or fewer units aren't subject to the asbestos NESHAP. Livonia's demolition procedure still says asbestos notices must be filed through Wayne County, so test old siding or roofing before you break it up.
Michigan EGLE: Understanding the Asbestos NESHAP (fact sheet) ↗City of Livonia: Demolition or Moving Application Procedures (PDF) ↗
Do I need to call before pulling posts or a slab?
Yes. Michigan law requires utility lines to be flagged before any digging. MISS DIG 811 is free; contact it before you pull footings, posts or ground anchors.
Can I put a new shed in its place?
A shed from 40 to 200 square feet needs a $111 zoning permit and a poured concrete rat wall. Sheds go in the rear yard only, and lots under half an acre may have no more than two accessory structures, counting garages.
