Lakeview, MI Public Records
Lakeview is an incorporated village in Montcalm County, Michigan, with an estimated population of 1,053 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 1.5 square miles of land. That is up about 32 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Lakeview Village Office
Lakeview's own village government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the village clerk under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act. In Michigan, the village clerk also runs local elections and voter registration. Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the village; see the offices below.
