The City of Livonia aims to assist prospective, as well as existing, business owners with their business development needs. We encourage you to contact City staff members early in the process to ensure the most efficient use of your time and to discuss permit, zoning, or approval requirements as they relate to each individual project. Whether you are starting your business, expanding, or need information about doing business in Livonia, this is the place to get started. Our Guide to Development (PDF) is a great resource equipped with helpful links, department phone numbers and areas of responsibility, and more.
