Drain Commission

What We Do

The Drain Commissioner's Office carries many responsibilities not only to the County but the State of Michigan. The Drain Commissioner's Office is bound by state statutes in effect for over one hundred years.

Maintenance

The office is responsible for the maintenance of these drainage areas after being established.

Administration

Responsible for the legal establishment and administration of drainage districts, legally set lake levels, court-ordered lake levels where dams, and impoundments are involved. ​

Assessments

The office is responsible for setting up assessments, for initiating, maintaining, and spreading legal costs over an assessment area for the benefit of property owners involved in any of  the issues mentioned.
