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 City of Grand Blanc as its own building code enforcer. The Building Department's page says the department "is also responsible for the supervision and enforcement of all laws and ordinances as determined by Federal, State or Local law, including, but not limited to, the Michigan Building Code." The city's Code of Ordinances lists Chapter 1410, Michigan Building Code, and Chapter 1412, Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act, in Part Fourteen (Building and Housing Code); the city's code is hosted on a site this directory could not open directly, so those chapters were not read, and this record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above.

In the City of Grand Blanc roofs are on the Building Department's list of projects that need a building permit: its Do I Need a Permit page says "Building permits are typically required for the following projects:" and lists "Roofs" under "Miscellaneous for Residential". The city's fee schedule dated 7/8/2026 prices a building permit as ".014 X COST OF PROJECT" and says the cost of a project is determined according to International Code Council standards; it prints no separate roofing fee line, and the table is laid out in columns, so confirm the current amounts with the department. The department says permits "can be paid in our office with cash, check or credit/debit cards or online with check or credit/debit cards." It is at 203 East Grand Blanc Road, Grand Blanc MI 48439, open Monday - Thursday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and closed on Friday, telephone 810-694-1118. Online applications are offered for electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits only ("There is a $3.00 fee to apply online"); the building permit application is a separate form on the same page.
