Roofing in Bertrand Township, Michigan
Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Bertrand Township, MI, issued by Bertrand Charter Township - Building Department. Bertrand Charter Township publishes nothing specific to roof work: its Building Department page, Forms and Permits page, building permit application and codified Chapter 6 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 no statement applying that relief to roof work. The township's Zoning Ordinance says "A building permit is the written authority as issued by the Building Inspector permitting the construction, moving, alteration or use of a building", the Building Department page says "All of the other inspectors can be reached by the phone number listed on their permit", and the township's agricultural-exemption sheet gives the building department's line, 269-208-3109, Monday to Friday 8:30a to 4:30p, and Wednesday mornings from 9am to 11am at the office. The building permit application asks the applicant to enclose three copies of plans and to give a Michigan builders license number, and the township posts no fee schedule or online portal address on the pages read.
