2015 Michigan Residential Code. This is state law and it is the same in every Michigan city, village, township and county: the state construction code act says "This act and the code apply throughout the state," and the Michigan Residential Code rule adopts "the international residential code, 2015 edition" with the state amendments in R 408.30500 to R 408.30547g. A 2021 edition was filed with the secretary of state in 2025 but has not taken effect. On July 7, 2025 the Michigan Court of Claims entered a stipulated order in Home Builders Assoc et al. v LARA et al., and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) says that while that order remains in place "the 2015 versions of the IRC and residential provisions of the IECC standards currently adopted, in part, by each rule set will remain valid and in effect." LARA's Statewide Jurisdiction List names the Township of Albee as its own building code enforcer. The township's Construction Permit application cites "PA. 230 of 1972 as amended" and the "Housing Code, Plumbing Code and Electrical Code of the State of Michigan" and names no edition of any code, and the township's website posts no building ordinance, so this record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above.

In Albee Township a reroof starts with the township's building and zoning inspector. The township's Contact Us page lists "Township Inspectors", with a "Building/Zoning" inspector and separate electrical, mechanical and plumbing inspectors, and the Construction Permit application says "Applicant's responsibility to contact inspector for each phase of construction." The application is made "in accordance with the provisions of PA. 230 of 1972 as amended and the Ordinances for the Township of Albee", asks for the contractor, owner, computed cost and permit fee, and states no fee amounts; the township's website posts no fee schedule, so ask the township for the current fee. The township office is at 10645 East Road, Burt, MI 48417, telephone 989-770-4844, open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM unless otherwise stated on the township sign.
