About Us

Chelsea Area Construction Agency

Established in 2000, Chelsea Area Construction Agency (C.A.C.A.) is a Governmental Agency created by Inter-local agreement between the City of Chelsea and the surrounding townships of Dexter, Lima, Lyndon and Sylvan.

To ensure the minimum safety standards of building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems to protect residential and commercial building users, agency members have adopted the Michigan Building Codes. C.A.C.A. is tasked with the administration and enforcement of those codes within the property boundaries of the agency members.

Chelsea Area Construction Agency is funded entirely with the revenues generated by permit fees.
