Home / Roofing by City / Ithaca, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Ithaca, MI, issued by City of Ithaca - Building Permits (Gratiot County Building Inspection). The City of Ithaca has no building inspector of its own: its Building & Zoning page says "The City currently contracts the Building Inspection services with the County of Gratiot. Building permits are required for new construction and remodeling, including roofs." The order of steps is zoning first: "Residents and/or contractors must first obtain zoning approval from the City." and then "Once approved the County Inspector will be able to issue the building permit." The page adds "*All approvals and permits must be acquired before the start of any work." The Gratiot County requirements sheet lists the Building Permit Application (BCC-324) and says "It is the responsibility of applicant, contractor, or home owner to obtain all necessary permits. The permit holder is responsible for any and all inspections necessary." The county application prints "Construction Rates to Calculate ECV", the estimated construction value that sets the fee, with "Residential Roof" at $10.00. State electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits go to the State of Michigan, not to the City. The Gratiot County permits office is at 214 E. Center St., Ithaca, MI 48847, (989) 875-5201, and City Hall, which handles zoning approval, is at 129 W. Emerson Street, (989) 875-3200.
