Roofing in Allegan, Michigan
Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Allegan, MI, issued by City of Allegan - Building Department (Professional Code Inspections of Michigan, Dorr office). The City of Allegan has published nothing that names roof work, and neither has Professional Code Inspections, the firm that runs its building department, so the state's general permit rule supplies the requirement and the city's referral is quoted: "Call the PCI office for questions relating to this." Under that rule, "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." The city's Guide to Development says "Professional Code Inspections of Michigan handles all building permitting actions for the City of Allegan. All building permit applications and associated fees must be submitted to PCI of Michigan", and that applicants "will be contacted within 10 days of submittal." PCI's Dorr office is at 1575 142nd Street, Dorr, MI 49323, phone 616-877-2000, and the city's own Forms and Applications page links its Building Department to PCI's Dorr office forms page. PCI's BS&A Online page says building permit applications can be submitted online and that contractors "can use the system to request inspections for issued permits". No building fee schedule for the City of Allegan is posted on the city's or PCI's pages read for this record, so ask PCI for the current fee; the Guide says only "fees may apply". City Hall, which does not issue building permits, is at 231 Trowbridge Street, Allegan, MI 49010, phone 269-673-5511.

Roofing permits & building code in Allegan
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Allegan are set locally by City of Allegan - Building Department (Professional Code Inspections of Michigan, Dorr office). Michigan licenses residential roofers at the state level — the Occupational Code’s residential maintenance and alteration contractor licence names roofing among its trades, with exemptions that include a job whose whole contract price is under $600 — and some cities add a local contractor registration on top, while the Michigan Residential Code applies throughout the state, so a city, village, township or county enforces the state code rather than writing its own roofing rules — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.
- state_level: Michigan licenses residential maintenance and alteration contractors under the Occupational Code, and that licence "includes the following crafts and trades" among which it names roofing (MCL 339.2404(3)); "A person shall not engage in or attempt to engage in the practice of an occupation regulated under this act" without the licence (MCL 339.601(1)). MCL 339.2403 lists who may work without one, including a project whose "aggregate contract price for the labor, material, and any other items for the undertaking or project is less than $600.00". This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside an exemption.
- city_level: The application for a building permit that Professional Code Inspections uses for the City of Allegan asks for the contractor's "BUILDERS LICENSE NO.", federal employer ID number, workers' compensation insurance carrier and MESC employer number; the city and PCI publish no registration of their own.
