Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Ada Township, MI, issued by Township of Ada - Building Inspections (by contract with Cascade Charter Township). Plan on a building permit for a re-roof in Ada Township. Neither the township nor Cascade Township's Building Department publishes anything on reroofing either way, so the state rule applies as written. The state construction code act says "before construction of a building or structure, the owner, or the owner's builder, architect, engineer, or agent, shall submit an application in writing to the appropriate enforcing agency for a building permit" and also "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure", without defining ordinary repairs. The township says "Ada Township contracts with Cascade Township for building permit issuance and inspection services." A permit application form and three sets of supporting plans go to the Planning & Zoning Department at the Ada Township Offices; after zoning sign-off "the application and plans are forwarded to Cascade Township for issuance of the permit," and "Building Permit Fees are paid to Cascade Township at the time the permit is picked up at Cascade Township offices." Cascade keeps a separate building permit application for Ada work, which asks for the contractor's license number and expiration. Inspections are requested from Cascade online, by phone at 616-949-3765, or by text at 616-240-4693.
