Home / Roofing by City / Kawkawlin Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Kawkawlin Township, MI, issued by Kawkawlin Township - Building Department. The township's published permit material says nothing specific about roof work: the Building Department page, the Permits page, the building permit application and requirements sheet and the fee table name no roofing line and no reroof exemption. With the township 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 township has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The township's requirements sheet says "Building permit fees are calculated by the Building Inspector and are based on the estimated cost of construction." and "The building permit will not be issued until the permit fee is paid in full." Its fee table, headed "KAWKAWLIN BUILDING PERMIT FEES" and dated March 2012, prices by valuation only, for example $111.25 at a valuation of $5,000 and $181.25 at $10,000, so confirm the current fee with the Building Inspector. The application notes "SEPARATE APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED FOR PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, AND ELECTRICAL WORK PERMITS" and asks the applicant to "Please call the Building Inspector directly at (989)798-6737 at least one 2 days prior to the time you need an inspection." The Building Department page lists a Building Inspector, an Electrical Inspector and a Mechanical/Plumbing Inspector, each with a phone number. The township hall is at 1836 E Parish Rd, Kawkawlin, MI 48631, phone 989-686-8710.
