How conditions vary across Benzie County
Benzie County's housing stock is older than many parts of the state. The median year a home here was built is 1985, and about 45 percent of homes went up before 1980. That means many properties have decades of accumulated items in basements, garages, and outbuildings that need a full cleanout.
Newer construction is limited. Only about 6 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, and roughly 110 new homes were authorized across the county in 2024. For a rural county, that modest building pace still generates construction debris from remodels and additions that need removal.
The housing mix is mostly detached and owner-occupied. About 86 percent of homes are single-family detached, while only about 12 percent of occupied homes are rented. With about 7 percent of homes being mobile or manufactured, the crew regularly handles items from properties that require careful maneuvering.
