Home / Roofing by City / Berlin Township (St. Clair County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Berlin Township (St. Clair County), MI, issued by Berlin Township - Building Department. Berlin Township publishes nothing specific to roof work: its Building page, its Building Permit Fees & Requirements sheet and its Building Permit Application name no roofing line, no reroof exemption and no size or cost point. With the township 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 published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The township's fee sheet says "Building official/Department has discretion to lower permit fees and bond on smaller projects", lists "Stop Work Order fee/Starting without a permit $125.00", and says "ALL BUILDING PLANS SHALL COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT MICHIGAN BUILDING CODES."; no reroof fee is listed, so ask the township office for the current fee. The Building page says "When submitting your application, include the Plan Review fee. The remainder will be due when the permit is ready for pickup." and lists the Building Inspector at (586) 337-0558.
