Home / Roofing by City / Egelston Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Egelston Township, MI, issued by Egelston Township - Building Department. Egelston Township has published nothing that names roof work either way: its Building page, its documents page, its building permit application, its residential plan review checklist and its contractor registration form have no roofing line. 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," without defining ordinary repairs, and the department has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. Questions go to the Building Official at 231-788-2308. The application asks for the contractor's license number and liability insurance carrier, and the Township's contractor registration form says "A permit will not be issued without this information being provided" and "A $10.00 Registration Fee and copies of a Master & Contractors license are required." The Building page lists base fees only for trade permits ("Mechanical Permits $75.00", "Electrical Permits $75.00" and "Plumbing Permits $75.00", each per inspection); the Township posts no building permit fee schedule, so ask the department for the fee.
