CNO Pole Barns around South Lyon
South Lyon sits in the southwest corner of Oakland County, close to where three counties meet, and CNO's service area covers the city along with the townships that wrap around it. Zosim Serban owns and runs the company today, working with one of CNO's 3 crews. CNO has been building since 1970 and is licensed, insured, and A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau.
The address isn't always the permit office
A South Lyon mailing address covers more ground than the city itself. The city is wrapped by Lyon Township in Oakland County, Green Oak Township in Livingston County, and Salem Township in Washtenaw County, so the right office depends on which side of the line your parcel sits. Inside the city limits, your permit comes from the City of South Lyon. Outside them, the township issues it. We pin down the jurisdiction before the estimate is finished so the application lands at the right counter the first time.
Garages in town, barns past the city line
On lots inside the city, the common builds are detached garages and workshops sized to the yard. Rural acreage starts just past the city limits, and that's where the pole barns, horse barns, and larger storage buildings go. Most requests are practical ones, a second garage because the first one filled up, or a real barn for a couple of horses on new acreage. When a project calls for a wide clear-span shop instead, CNO is a certified Federal Steel Systems dealer and can quote a steel building for the same site.

Common questions in South Lyon
The township your parcel sits in. South Lyon addresses spill into Lyon Township in Oakland County, Green Oak Township in Livingston County, and Salem Township in Washtenaw County. Inside city limits, the City of South Lyon issues the permit. We confirm the jurisdiction for your parcel as part of the estimate.
Yes. The properties with room for a horse barn sit mostly on the acreage just outside the city limits. Lot size and the township's setback rules decide the footprint, so we walk the parcel first, then size the barn around the animals and gear it needs to hold.
In town, the project that usually fits is a detached garage or workshop rather than a farm-style barn. City lots run smaller, and setback and lot coverage rules cap accessory building size. If what you want won't fit the lot, we'll say so at the site visit instead of forcing it.
