Pole Barns and Garages Around Lake Orion
CNO Pole Barns builds pole barns, garages, and outbuildings for property owners across Oakland County, and Orion Township, home to the Village of Lake Orion, sits inside that service area. Owner Zosim Serban runs the company day to day, working alongside one of CNO's 3 crews on jobs throughout the region. CNO was established in 1970 and is licensed, insured, and A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau.
What Orion Township Requires for a Permit
Orion Township doesn't require a full building permit for a one-story detached accessory structure under 200 square feet, though it still needs zoning approval. Almost every pole barn or garage we build is larger than that, so plan on the full building permit process. We handle the application and inspections so you don't have to learn the township's system yourself.
Built Around Wooded, Water-Adjacent Lots
Orion Township's rural north end mixes big lakes with heavily wooded parcels, and that combination shapes what gets built. A lot backing up to water or timber often has an odd shape or a tight building envelope, so we lay the barn or garage out around the trees and the topography instead of forcing a standard rectangle onto the site. Storage for a boat or a few extra vehicles comes up often, along with detached garages and small workshops for property owners who want space away from the house.

Common questions in Lake Orion
Yes for anything over 200 square feet, which describes just about every project we take on. Below that size you still need zoning approval from the township, just not a full building permit.
Yes. We walk the site during the free estimate and design around the trees, slope, and any water setback instead of asking you to clear more land than you want to.
We do. CNO is a certified Federal Steel Systems dealer, so a wide clear-span steel building is on the table alongside a standard post-frame pole barn.
That depends on your specific parcel and the township's shoreline setback rules. We'll check that during the site visit before we put together your estimate.
