Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Bunker Hill Township (Ingham County), MI, issued by Bunker Hill Township - Building Inspection Department. In Bunker Hill Township the Building Inspection Department page says "it is the responsibility of the contractor or homeowner to obtain ALL permits prior to the start of construction" and "THERE IS A $300 FINE FOR STARTING A PROJECT WITHOUT A PERMIT". It says "Building Permits are NOT issued until Plan Review has been Approved by Inspector" and "Permits are processed on Mondays & Tuesdays", and its building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical inspectors are "available by appointment ONLY".

Roofing permits & building code in Bunker Hill Township (Ingham County)

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Bunker Hill Township (Ingham County) are set locally by Bunker Hill Township - Building Inspection Department. 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.

Adopted building code
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 Bunkerhill as a local building code enforcer. The Township's Building Inspector/Permit page and its Zoning/Ordinance page name no code edition, and the Township's website lists no building code ordinance.
