COVID-19 and Community & Neighborhood Services Department Update
..........................
While Holland City Hall is closed for normal business, the Community & Neighborhood Services Department is still open for business. We are eagerly awaiting further work instructions from the Federal and State governments so we can restore our customer service levels back to normal as soon as possible.
Some updates regarding the Department are as follows:
- Building – We are accepting all permit applications, conducting plan reviews, and issuing permits. Our forms are available here, or we can mail an application to you.
- Code Enforcement – Limited inspections focused on long grass, rubbish, and inoperable vehicles.
- Home Energy Retrofit – Our contractors are not conducting energy audits or retrofits at this time, but some are conducting “virtual energy audits” for your home via online media. All calls and emails will be answered within 24 hours by the Residential Energy Advisor.
- Home Repair Program – Applications are being accepted electronically. Please scan and email all documents to d.weeks@cityofholland.com to apply for the program.
- Planning – We are accepting all forms of applications for Planning Commission and Historic District Commission, as well as administrative staff review items. Please feel free to send us your questions by phone or email.
- Rental Housing – No rental inspections are being done at this time. If you do have questions, please reach out to us.
- Solid Waste & Recycling – Garbage and recycling is still being collected, and project pride coupons are available by calling 616-355-1341 or e-mailing cns@cityofholland.com. Note that Republic Services is currently closed on Saturdays.
- Sustainability – Meetings of the Solid Waste Committee have been postponed until further notice; however, staff continues to work on advancing community sustainability goals related to the Community Energy Plan, updating the City’s Green House Gas Assessment, and similar efforts.
