What matters for project planning
The City of Farmington Hills' Planning and Community Development department guides land use under the city's current master plan, branded "the Next 50," built with roughly three years of resident input to steer development over the next 15–20 years. The Engineering Division and Map Gallery separately publish floodplain mapping, and the city maintains a dedicated flood-reduction resource for owners planning work near the Rouge River corridor.

Verify the property, not just the city
Citywide context cannot establish a parcel's flood zone, permit requirements, soil conditions, or concealed construction. Confirm those items with the appropriate authority and selected provider before work begins.
