We have an empty seat on both the Planning Commission and the Downtown Development Authority board.
Planning Commission: You must be a resident of the Village of Pinckney. This board meets the first Monday of each month and is responsible for updating the Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and for site plan review. Commissioners are paid $50 for each meeting. After 6 months of service, the Village will fund enrollment in the Citizen Planner online course and completion is required before appointments can be extended.
DDA: You must have a business interest (property owner, business owner, employee) or be a resident of the DDA district. The district includes properties with a Main Street/M-36 address extending along M36 from, roughly, 360 W Main Street east to Wendy’s. The DDA is responsible for improvements, beautification and events that aid Pinckney businesses and the community.
To apply for either position, please use Appointment Application form and return via email to clerk@villageofpinckney.org or by mail or hand-delivery to Village Hall, 220 S. Howell Street, Pinckney MI 48169.

Trees and shrubs may not overhang Village sidewalks and streets, or block street signs. We have had several complaints about trees and shrubs that need trimming – and winter is a good time to do this chore. Please check your property and trim any tree branches and shrubs that may be too low or block visibility.
As of August 16, village residents can obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. This is great news if you are required to carry flood insurance, as the premiums are greatly reduced from regular insurance rates. Make sure your insurance carrier is aware that the Village is enrolled in the program!

We’ve revived the water softener rebate program to encourage compliance with our ordinance, which states that water softeners cannot be discharged into the sewer line. If you have moved to the Village since 2008, you might want to check this out! Eligible property owners can receive a 50% rebate, up to $300, for installing a drywell or toward the purchase of a no-discharge water conditioner. See below for details about the program. Still have questions? Call or email us at Village Hall.
