Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Frankenlust Township (Bay County), MI, issued by Township of Frankenlust - Building Department. The Frankenlust Township Building Department names no roofing in its permit instructions. Its Building Official page says "To ensure the quality development in our Township, the Building Official is responsible for approving any and all building permits." and "A building permit is required when any type of structural work is done on your home and on adding any structures that are 200+ Sq. Ft." The state's general permit rule also 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 either its structural-work sentence or that relief to roof work. The township's Building Permit application asks for the work description, the "Valuation of COMPLETED Work" and the class of work, and says "ALL BUILDING PERMIT FEES WILL BE DOUBLED IF WORK IS COMPLETED WITHOUT A PERMIT."; the permit "BECOMES NULL AND VOID IF WORK OR CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZED IS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN 180 DAYS". Its 2025 Building Permit Fee Worksheet prices a permit by valuation, with "$23.50 Flat Fee" for "$1.00 to $500.00" and "$23.50 for the first $501.00 plus $3.05 for each additional $100.00, or fraction thereof, to and including $2,000.00" above that, and its fee schedule adopted August 13, 2019 lists the Building Permit fee as "Per Inspector". The Permits & Forms page says "We will not accept a permit if it is not on the updated permit application." and "Please make sure you have an up to date Contractors Registration when submitting a permit". The Departments page says "Our building department is made up of contractors that do NOT hold office hours. They need to be contacted directly for questions or concerns." and the Building Official is reached at (989) 239-0360 to set up inspections.
