What planning should account for
The City of Troy's Engineering Department manages floodplain records, storm drains, and soil-erosion permitting, while the Streets and Drains Division investigates residential stormwater issues under Oakland County's stormwater permit program. Because Troy's housing spans several distinct construction eras over the same slow-draining clay soils, current permitting and drainage requirements should be confirmed with the city before major exterior or crawlspace work begins.
