Horse country in northwest Oakland County
Holly sits in the far northwest corner of Oakland County, a village wrapped inside Holly Township, with the Holly Recreation Area spread out beside it. The gravel roads around town carry a lot of horse trailers. CNO Pole Barns has been building in Michigan since 1970 and is locally owned today by Zosim Serban. Holly falls inside the same northern Oakland County ground our crews work around Clarkston and Davisburg.
Barns for the gravel-road properties
The land outside the village is what Holly is known for: acreage, pasture, and room to keep animals. Horse barns are a steady request out here, laid out around the stall count, hay storage, and a dry spot for tack and trailer. Pole barns for tractors and toys are just as common, and inside the village a detached garage or storage building fits the smaller lots. For projects where steel beats post-frame, CNO is a certified Federal Steel Systems dealer and can quote, deliver, and stand up a Federal Steel building.
Village of Holly or Holly Township
The village sits inside the township, and each one issues its own permits. A village address goes through the Village of Holly, and everything outside the village line goes through Holly Township. Accessory buildings like barns and garages need a permit either way, along with a plot plan showing distances to your lot lines. We handle that paperwork and make sure it lands on the right desk.
Same crews, both directions
Holly sits between two parts of CNO's regular territory: the Clarkston and Davisburg stretch of Oakland County to the east, and the Fenton and Grand Blanc side of Genesee County to the northwest. Groveland Township and Rose Township, Holly's neighbors, fall inside the same coverage. Our crews already work both sides of it.

Common questions in Holly
Yes. Horse barns, pole barns, and detached garages all count as accessory buildings, and Holly Township requires a permit and a plot plan for them. Addresses inside the Village of Holly go through the village instead of the township. We prepare and submit the paperwork for you as part of the build.
Permit review comes first and varies with the season. After approval, most residential barns and garages frame up in weeks rather than months, with size, concrete work, and weather setting the pace. You get a realistic schedule at the free estimate, not a best-case guess.
Beyond square footage, it is the interior that moves the number: how many stalls, a finished tack room, water and electrical runs, and how much hay storage you want overhead or alongside. We price all of it line by line after walking your property, so you can trim or add before anything is built.
