Home / Roofing by City / Forest Township (Genesee County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Forest Township (Genesee County), MI, issued by Township of Forest - Building Permits. The township's published permit material says nothing specific about roof work: the Permits & Forms page, the building permit application and the zoning ordinance 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 Permits & Forms page says "Once completed, the permits & forms can be saved and uploaded here for review." The application is the state's building permit form (BCC-324, Rev 04/13) with a township header, carries blanks for "Permit Fee" and for the contractor's builder license number and expiration date, and states "THE CHARGE TO RE-OPEN A CLOSED PERMIT IS $75.00." No building fee schedule is posted, so ask the township for the current fee. The trade permit applications posted on the page, the electrical and mechanical forms among them, are headed Vienna Township, 3400 W Vienna Rd, Clio, list "FOREST TWP" among the job locations and say "PLEASE MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO VIENNA TOWNSHIP". The township hall is at 130 E. Main St., Otisville, MI 48463, and its page gives office hours of Monday - Friday 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM.
