Home / Roofing by City / Constantine Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Constantine Township, MI, issued by Township of Constantine - Building Permits. The township's published permit material says nothing specific about roof work: the Zoning and Inspectors page, the Zoning and Building Application packet and the fee schedule name no roofing line and no reroof exemption. 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 Zoning and Inspectors page lists a building inspector by trade with a phone number, 269-816-4951, and says "Please contact them prior to preforming work to see if a permit is needed." The township's Zoning and Building Application says "A. All appropriate fees must be included with the Zoning Application. The building official will advise you of the building permit fees at the time of issuance of such permit," and its fee schedule (marked "Proposed February 12, 2013") prices "Zoning Application (Building Permit Required)" at $50.00 and "Zoning Application (No building permit required)" at $25.00; it lists no building permit fee. The application also says "Building or excavation work shall not be started until the application for permit has been approved by the Zoning Administrator and/or the Building Official," that "All inspections require a minimum of a 24 hour notice," and that "The inspector will typically perform the inspection within 2 business days as his or her schedule permits." The township's zoning administrator is listed at PO Box 30, Colon, with the phone number 269-386-1110, and the township office is at 67125 US-131, Constantine, phone (269) 435-8170.
