Home / Roofing by City / Deep River Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Deep River Township, MI, issued by Township of Deep River - Building Department. Deep River Township has published nothing that names roof work either way: its Building Department page, Area Code Enforcement's website and the building permit application have no roofing line and no fee schedule. With the department 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." (MCL 125.1510), without defining ordinary repairs, and the department has published nothing applying that relief to roof work, so ask the Building Department before you start. Area Code Enforcement's website tells readers they "may download" "permit application forms", and its coverage list reads "Adams, Arenac, Au Gres, Deep River, Lincoln and Sims Townships". The building permit application says "Checks payable to: Area Code Enforcement, 4742 North M-13, Pinconning, MI 48650". The Building Department's telephone number is (989) 313-2168, and the township hall is at 525 E. State St., Sterling, MI, telephone (989) 654-3161.
