Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Hanover Township (Jackson County), MI, issued by Township of Hanover (Jackson County) - Building Department. A reroof in Hanover Township goes through the Building Department's own roofing permit. The Building Department page lists "Roof/Re-Roof Permit" with its own "BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION-ROOF", and the application is headed "ROOFING PERMIT APPLICATION FEE: $170" (revised 08/2024); it asks for the contractor's business name, license numbers, insurance carrier and policy number, and the estimated square footage and construction value. The department states no exemption for roof work. 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 that relief to roof work. The Building Department page says "Permits will be issued within 72 hours of receiving completed application and fees." and "BUILDING PERMITS WILL ONLY BE ISSUED ON MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND THURSDAYS."
