Home / Roofing by City / Bedford (Calhoun County) Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Bedford (Calhoun County) Township, MI, issued by Bedford Charter Township - Building and Zoning Administrator. Bedford Charter Township has published nothing that names roof work either way: its Building and Zoning Administrator page, its forms list, its building permit application and its Building Ordinance have no roofing line. With the department silent on reroofs, the state's general permit rule applies: "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 same section says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure," without defining ordinary repairs, and the township has not applied that relief to roof work. The Building and Zoning Administrator is at the township hall, 115 S. Uldriks Drive, Battle Creek, (269) 965-9096, and the township hall is open "Monday-Thursday 7:30 - 4:30 PM" and closed Friday. The township's application says "SEPARATE APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED FOR: PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, AND ELECTRICAL WORK", asks the contractor for a builder's license number, and lists a "WORK WITHOUT PERMIT FEE ($150)". Section 5 of the Building Ordinance says fees are paid "in accordance with the schedule of building permit fees adopted by the Charter Township of Bedford"; no schedule is posted on the township site, so ask the department for the current fee. Section 8 of that ordinance sends appeals to the Area Metropolitan Services Agency (AMSA) Building Board of Appeals.
