Active notices, newest first

County seeks proposals for a new website
The County invited qualified firms to design, build, and support a modern, secure, accessible County website, with proposals due June 16, 2026. This prototype is Stoa's response: a working redesign of the County's own services and records rather than a paper promise.

Flood damage self-reporting is open
High water this spring damaged homes, businesses, and shoreline across the county. Reporting your damage helps the County document impacts for recovery assistance and connects you with the right guidance and permits before repairs.
-
Building safety guidance for flooded structures
Before repairing a flooded structure, check the Building Safety guidance: electrical and mechanical systems that took water need inspection, and many repairs require a permit. The office walks homeowners through it, (231) 627-8813.
-
Flooding and erosion guidance for property owners
Plain-language guidance for shoreline and riverfront owners: what to check first, when erosion work needs a soil-erosion permit, and who to call about drains and high water.

The County is hiring: Planner and Administrative Assistant
Two openings posted this spring. The application and current postings are in the document library, and Administration answers questions at (231) 627-8855.
-
Phone scam using County and court names
Callers posing as County or court staff have demanded payment for “missed jury duty” and other invented violations. The County never demands payment by phone, gift card, or wire. Hang up and call the Sheriff's non‑emergency line, (231) 627-3155, to report it.
Drawn from real items posted on the current County site, shown here to demonstrate the notice template. They are not official County announcements; for official notices, see cheboygancounty.net.
Why a notices page
Publish once, surface everywhere
Today the County's announcements live in homepage tiles and PDFs that age in place; the audit found flood maps cited as “official as of August 16, 2012” on a page residents check during a real flood.
In the redesign, a notice is one structured record with a date, an office, and an expiration. It appears on this page, on the homepage, and in search the moment it publishes, and it quietly steps down when it expires, so nothing on the site claims to be current when it is not.
