Roofing in Holland Township, Michigan
No, Holland Township, MI does not require a permit for like-for-like roof replacement (Charter Township of Holland - Building). In Holland Charter Township the Building department draws its line at the structure: it lists "replacement of roof shingles ONLY (no structural work)" among "items that may not require a permit," a list it says is "not limited to" those items. That is the department's stated practice: no enacted text names roof work either way, state law requires a permit "before construction of a building or structure" and says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure" without defining them, and this record does not decide whether the department's line is its reading of that relief. Roof work that reaches the structure is outside the department's statement; call (616) 395-0196 before starting. Where a permit is needed, the township fee sheet sets a $50 base fee for the first $1,000 of estimated construction cost and $4.50 for "Each additional $1,000 of estimated construction cost, or fraction thereof," and charges an "Administrative/Investigation Fee" of $75 an hour, one hour minimum, when work is started before a permit is issued. A contractor registration form is among the department's forms. Building is at the Holland Charter Township Offices, 353 North 120th Avenue, Holland; call (616) 395-0196, which is also the number to schedule an inspection.

Roofing permits & building code in Holland Township
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Holland Township are set locally by Charter Township of Holland - Building. 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.
- state_level: Michigan licenses residential maintenance and alteration contractors under the Occupational Code, and that licence "includes the following crafts and trades" among which it names roofing (MCL 339.2404(3)); "A person shall not engage in or attempt to engage in the practice of an occupation regulated under this act" without the licence (MCL 339.601(1)). MCL 339.2403 lists who may work without one, including a project whose "aggregate contract price for the labor, material, and any other items for the undertaking or project is less than $600.00". This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside an exemption.
- city_level: Holland Charter Township sets no roofing contractor licence of its own; its Building forms include a contractor registration form. Code of Ordinances Chapter 6 (read in full) sets no roofing contractor licence.
