Roofing in Chesaning, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Chesaning, MI, issued by Village of Chesaning - Building Inspector. The village's Building Inspector page lists the Michigan Building Inspector's phone as (810) 516-1191 and offers building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical permit forms. The Application for Building Permit and Plan Examination (form BCC-324) is headed "VILLAGE OF CHESANING", gives the village address and phone (989) 845-3800, and says "SEPARATE APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED FOR PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, AND ELECTRICAL WORK PERMITS". The fee schedule bundled with the form prices permits by the value of the construction ("$75 FOR THE FIRST $1,000.00; AND $5.00 FOR EVERY ADDITIONAL $1,000.00") and says work started before a permit is secured will be stopped until a permit is secured. The form and fee schedule are scanned pages; they were read from the rendered pages. The Chesaning Township Building Official page is a different office from the village's, and this record does not rest on the township's statements.

Roofing permits & building code in Chesaning

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Chesaning are set locally by Village of Chesaning - Building Inspector. 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.

Contractor registration
Required
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 Village of Chesaning as its own building code enforcer. The village's Building Inspector page and its Application for Building Permit and Plan Examination name no residential code edition, and the village's code of ordinances was not found on its website.
