Home / Roofing by City / Grandville, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Grandville, MI, issued by City of Grandville - Building Department (Professional Code Inspections). The City of Grandville has published nothing that names reroofing either way: its permit pages, its fee schedule effective July 1, 2026, Chapter 6 of its code and the Grandville building permit application and requirements on the PCI site have no reroofing line. With the department 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 department has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The city says "Please contact PCI at (616) 667-8803 for building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and sign inquiries"; PCI's Jenison office is at 1913 Baldwin Street. Where a permit is issued, Section 6-110 of the city code requires the exterior features of a residential structure, including "roof coverings", to be completed within twelve months of the initial permit. No building permit fee for roof work is posted, so ask PCI for the current fee.
