Roofing in Goodland Township (Lapeer County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Goodland Township (Lapeer County), MI, issued by Township of Goodland - Building Permits (Construction Code Authority). Goodland Township publishes nothing specific to roof work. Its Ordinance No. 206 says "The Construction Code Authority is hereby designated to provide the inspectors and enforcement officers for each Code." and that permit fees are those the Construction Code Authority board of directors sets by motion. The Construction Code Authority, at 1075 Suncrest Dr Ste A in Lapeer, lists "Goodland Township Building, Zoning, Address, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, and Rental." among its jurisdictions, takes inspection scheduling calls at (810) 664-0981 and office calls at (810) 667-0420, and posts a Building Permit Application, a Building Permit Guideline Sheet (revised 04/02/2026) and a Residential Building Fee Schedule, none of which names roofing. The township's zoning amendment Ordinance 101-07 requires that "Each single-family dwelling unit shall have a roof pitch with no less than a 4-12 pitch." The township office, at 2374 N. Van Dyke, Imlay City, lists 810-724-0169. The general permit clause of the state construction code act, which says "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" (MCL 125.1510), supplies the requirement for a reroof, and the township's referral to the Construction Code Authority is quoted above.

Roofing permits & building code in Goodland Township (Lapeer County)

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Goodland Township (Lapeer County) are set locally by Township of Goodland - Building Permits (Construction Code Authority). Michigan licenses residential roofers at the state level — the Occupational Code’s residential maintenance and alteration contractor licence names roofing among its trades, with exemptions that include a job whose whole contract price is under $600 — and some cities add a local contractor registration on top, while the Michigan Residential Code applies throughout the state, so a city, village, township or county enforces the state code rather than writing its own roofing rules — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.

Roofing permit
Required
Contractor registration
Required
Adopted building code
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 Township of Goodland as its own building code enforcer. The township's Ordinance No. 206 designates it the enforcing agency for "the Michigan Building, Residential and Energy Codes as promulgated by the Michigan Construction Code Commission" and repeals its earlier ordinance adopting the BOCA Code; it names no edition, and the Construction Code Authority's guideline sheet refers only to "Section R106 of the MRC". This record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above.
