Public Notice
Royalton Township, Berrien County
Notice of Code of Ordinance Amendment
PUBLIC NOTICE OF ORDINANCE ADOPTION
Notice is hereby given that the Royalton Township Board of Trustees, at a regularly scheduled meeting, has amended the Code of Ordinance adopting an Escrow Ordinance.
Section 406 of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3406) authorizes the Township to request the payment of reasonable fees for planning and zoning. The purposed escrow ordinance establishes a mechanism for recovery of costs associated with the review and processing of complex zoning applications that require consultant services beyond routine staff review.
The amended ordinance was adopted on January 12, 2026, and will become effective seven (7) after notice of ordinance adoption is published.
A complete copy of the amended ordinance is available for public review at Royalton Township Hall, 980 Miners Road, St. Joseph, MI 49085, during regular business hours, or by calling (269) 429-2501. www.royaltontownship.org.
