Update:  Capital Asphalt has withdrawn their request for a Special Land Use permit.

We're receiving lots of questions from concerned residents regarding the asphalt company's request for a Special Land Use Permit and rezoning.  Please understand the township must abide by the legal process and any business has the right to make a request to the township. The asphalt company's request is in the very first step of the review process.  Please read how the process works here. 

The company's application can be read here.  Videos, meeting minutes, and document packets of the Planning Commission may be viewed here.

If you wish to voice comments or concerns before the official public hearings, please email the Zoning Dept. at  zoning@tyronetownship.us, or call 810-629-8631 to ask questions over the phone.  If you want to receive public notices from the township, sign up by clicking on the email logo in the right column or here.

The township's planning consultant Carlisle-Wortman Associates has reviewed the company's rezoning and special land use requests and has submitted their reports:

          • Review of Parcel 4704-17-400-007 rezoning request.

Residents of Tyrone Township wishing to burn MUST obtain a burn permit from the township. Permits cost $5.00, are good for one calendar year, and may be obtained at the township hall or by mail. Click here for more information. Burning is NOT permitted if wind speeds exceed 9 mph or if dry conditions exist. Failure to comply to the ordinance may result in a $1447 charge!

Supervisor Mike Cunningham and Fenton City Fire Chief Bob Cairnduff teamed to make a couple of short videos about open burning in Tyrone Township: burn permits and safe burning.

The township office is OPEN (M-Th 9-5) with COVID precautions in place. We still encourage residents to use the drop boxes, leave phone messages, use email, and our website to download forms when possible. We have three drop boxes: a drive up in the parking lot close to the building, another on the wall next to the front entrance, and one inside the lobby (see photos here). All are secure and may be used to drop off payments, absentee apps and ballots, request burn permits, land use permits, etc.

Due to the numerous complaints about the garbage service, we have cancelled the contract with Republic effective May 1, 2021.  We've chosen Dougie's Disposal to service Jayne Hill. Beginning May 5, 2021 pick-up day for garbage and recycling will be WEDNESDAY. More important information here.

Residents often call the township asking what can be done with road kill.  The township, the road commission, and the DNR do not provide such a service. The DNR recommends the following if residents encounter road-killed animals on or near their property: 1) Bag up the carcass and leave it with their trash for pick-up, 2) Move the carcass to an area where decomposition can take care of it (ditch, woods, buried underground, etc.), or 3) Hire a waste control company to remove the carcass.

Several places offer locations to safely dispose unused medications. Check locations in Livingston County or in Genesee County.

Michigan residents now have the option to apply for the REAL-ID-compliant driver's license or ID card at Secretary of State offices.

Nonperishable food items for humans AND pets may be donated at the township hall. Collection bins are located in the front lobby. Donations are greatly appreciated and help feed hungry people and pets. The Pet Pantry also accepts pet-related items.

It has come to our attention that a large number of vehicle registrations are improperly assigned to Genesee County, NOT Livingston. This means the township is losing 42 cents on every dollar that you pay for your license plates to Genesee County instead of being available to fix our roads. Please check your vehicle registration to make sure it is properly assigned to Livingston County when renewing plates at the Secretary of State or online. If it is incorrect, call the Secretary of State's office at 888-767-6424 and keep your money in your county.

The Tyrone Township hall does NOT accept worn flags for disposal. Flag disposal bins are located at following:

   •City of Fenton Police Department
