Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Dryden Township (Lapeer County), MI, issued by Township of Dryden (Lapeer County) - Building Permits (Construction Code Authority). The Construction Code Authority publishes nothing specific to roof work: its permit page, building permit guideline sheet, building permit application and residential fee schedule name no roofing line, no size or cost point and no reroof exemption. With the Authority 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 Authority has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The Building Permit Information packet in the township's document library, revised 10/02/09, says of single family dwellings "Roof: Design and material shall be similar to dwelling units on adjacent or surrounding residential neighborhood" and "Contact building official for specific information."; it states no permit rule for a reroof. The Authority says "Permit applications and other documents can be mailed, faxed, or emailed to the office." The fee schedule lists a "Contractor Licensing Administrative Fee - We need to verify license yearly" of $15, re-inspections at $81 each and a $100 administrative fee when "Construction Started Without Permit - job red-tagged". Payment is accepted by cash, check, Visa and Mastercard, with a 3.5% surcharge on card payments. To schedule or cancel an inspection with a clerk, call 810-667-0420; the Authority's 24-hour scheduling hotline, 810-664-0981, carries the instruction "Do not use this number for anything other than scheduling inspections."
