Roofing in Jasper Township (Midland County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Jasper Township (Midland County), MI, issued by Township of Jasper (Midland County) - Building Permits (Township Code Authority of Midland County). In Jasper Township a reroof starts with the Township Code Authority of Midland County: its coverage list reads "Jasper Twp" for "Building, Electrical, Mechanical & Plumbing", and the Authority says "The TCA provides plumbing, mechanical, electrical and building inspections to Midland county municipalities."

Roofing permits & building code in Jasper Township (Midland County)

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Jasper Township (Midland County) are set locally by Township of Jasper (Midland County) - Building Permits (Township Code Authority of Midland County). 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.

Roofing permit
Required
Contractor registration
Required
Adopted building code
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 Township of Jasper in Midland County as its own building code enforcer. No Jasper Township building or construction code ordinance was available to read, and the Township Code Authority's checklist, fee sheet and application name no code edition, so this record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above.
