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 Hudsonville as its own building code enforcer. Sec. 8-21 of the City Code, "Adoption of the state building code.", designates the city as the enforcing agency to enforce the provisions of the single state construction code within the city and names no edition of a residential code; the city's recodified Code is current through Ordinance No. 22-330, adopted October 11, 2022. The city's Applications & Permits page links a document titled Building Permit Requirements, a Professional Code Inspections of Michigan plan review submittal form marked 2015, that asks for finished interior detail "in accordance with MBC 2012"; that is a commercial-code edition reference on a form dated before 2016, its text was not read, and this record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above. The city's property maintenance code is the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code (Sec. 8-141).

Hudsonville's building permits run through Professional Code Inspections of Michigan (PCI), Jenison office, 1913 Baldwin St., Jenison, 616-667-8803. The city's Applications & Permits page lists a Building Permit category whose forms are hosted on PCI's Hudsonville forms page, and the city's fee schedule (Fiscal Year 2025-2026, approved 6/10/25) has a "PCI (BUILDING PERMITS)" section. That section prices a building permit by valuation: $60 up to $1,000, $60 plus $10 per $1,000 from $1,001 to $10,000, and $150 plus $5 per $1,000 above $10,000 for one and two family work, with a one and two family plan review at $50. It says "The value or cost of a building permit shall be based on the contract price, including all sub-contracts" and lists an administrative fee of $75/hour, one hour minimum, for starting a building project without a permit. PCI takes building permit applications and supplemental documents through BS&A Online for its Jenison office. The city's page does not say whether a reroof needs a permit; it says "If you are unsure if a license is needed for a particular activity, please contact the City at 616-669-0200." City Hall is at 3275 Central Blvd., Hudsonville.
