Home / Roofing by City / Jamestown Township (Ottawa County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Jamestown Township (Ottawa County), MI, issued by Charter Township of Jamestown - Building Department (Professional Code Inspections). The Charter Township of Jamestown has published nothing that names roof work either way: its Building, Planning and Zoning page, its forms and permits page, its 2026-2027 fee schedule (posted as "effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027"), the building permit application it links and Ordinance No. 11-002 have no roofing 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. Questions go to the Township's building official at Professional Code Inspections, 616-877-2000; the Township page says "To contact Kirk directly, please email or call him." Applications are made on PCI's "APPLICATION FOR BUILDING PERMIT", which lists PCI's Dorr office at 1575 142nd Avenue and asks for the contractor's "BUILDERS LICENSE NO." Where a residential permit is pulled, the fee schedule's "Residential building permit fees (PCI)" rate table charges "$0 to $1,000 - $40", "$1,001 to $10,000 - $50 + $10 per $1,000" and "$10,001 + - $130 + $4 per $1,000", with a plan review only for projects greater than 3,500 sqft or $500,000. For work started without a permit the schedule lists an "Investigation fee $150" and a "Stop work order $250".
