Allegan County Drain Office

Allegan County Drain Office

The Allegan County Drain Office oversees the design, maintenance, and inspection of official county drains. These drains manage stormwater, reduce flooding, and protect land and waterways across agricultural and developed areas.

What Is a County Drain?

County drains can include:

• Open ditches and streams
• Underground pipes
• Swales and retention ponds

Drains are established through a petition process by property owners or local governments. Once designated, the Drain Office maintains them and handles inspections, financial records, and ongoing improvements.
