Good morning,
In response to your OPRA request 26-0898 please note that secondary structures on the same lots are not permitted so no permits would exist.
I have been advised that if you are looking for a mother/daughter structure you could complete an OPRA with the County for deed restrictions for ADU/mother/daughter in Howell, when you found the addresses you could do an OPRA with us again requesting the permits for the specific addresses with mother/daughter ADUs.
This request is complete.
Thank you.
