Macomb County has no countywide blight ordinance. In Michigan, blight standards are set and enforced by each city, village, or township through the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) it adopts by local ordinance.
There is no Macomb County code that defines or penalizes residential blight. Under Michigan's construction-code framework, cities and townships adopt and enforce the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) locally to cover exterior deterioration, junk accumulation, and unsafe structures. Warren, Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, Shelby Township, and the county's other municipalities each run their own code-enforcement office and blight ticketing. The county Health Department addresses only health nuisances such as sewage, vermin, or hazardous-substance conditions, not general property appearance. Contact your city or township building/code-enforcement department for blight complaints and standards.
Blight fines, abatement deadlines, and appeal rights are set by your municipality's adopted IPMC and blight ordinance. Penalties range from local civil infractions to misdemeanor citations. The county has no blight-enforcement authority.
