Required

2015 Michigan Residential Code. This is state law and it is the same in every Michigan city, village, township and county: the state construction code act says "This act and the code apply throughout the state," and the Michigan Residential Code rule adopts "the international residential code, 2015 edition" with the state amendments in R 408.30500 to R 408.30547g. A 2021 edition was filed with the secretary of state in 2025 but has not taken effect. On July 7, 2025 the Michigan Court of Claims entered a stipulated order in Home Builders Assoc et al. v LARA et al., and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) says that while that order remains in place "the 2015 versions of the IRC and residential provisions of the IECC standards currently adopted, in part, by each rule set will remain valid and in effect." LARA's Statewide Jurisdiction List names the Village of Fruitport as its own building code enforcer. The village's Departments page says that Michigan Township Services "contracts with the village and many surrounding communities for building permit and inspection functions." The village's Code of Ordinances (October 2025) was read for a building code chapter and has none: its Land Usage title lists chapters on dangerous buildings, mobile homes, signs, zoning and the 2021 International Fire Code, and its references to "the Building Code" and "the Village Building Code" name no residential code edition. The fire code adoption is a fire code, not a dwelling code. No document the village or Michigan Township Services Muskegon posts that was read for this record names a residential code edition, and this record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above.

In the Village of Fruitport a reroof is its own permit type on the Michigan Township Services Muskegon Building Permit Application: Maintenance/Alterations, which lists "Roofing $75.00" with the words "tear off reroof/roof over". The village's Departments page says "Contact the village directly to submit a site plan and zoning permit application prior to requesting a building permit from Michigan Township Services." The village's zoning permit application, at the village office at 45 N Second Avenue, says "Site Plan Required: Show all structures on property with distances from lot lines and each other." and "Application Fee Required with Application: $50 for New Residence. $25 for All Others." The Michigan Township Services Muskegon permits page says "Checks are made payable to MTSM for Fruitport Twp, Fruitport Village" among other jurisdictions, and gives its office as 5855 Airline Rd, Fruitport, MI 49415, phone 231-865-6977 or 231-865-3310; its home page gives the hours as "Monday through Thursday 8AM - 4:30PM", and its Inspectors page says "Call our office for inspections 231-865-6977 or 231-865-3310." The form that carries the roofing line has a blank Municipality/Jurisdiction line for the applicant.
