The Construction Code Authority publishes nothing specific to roof work: its permit page, building permit guideline sheet, building permit application and residential fee schedule name no roofing line, no size or cost point and no reroof exemption. With the Authority 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 Authority has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The Authority says "Permit applications and other documents can be mailed, faxed, or emailed to the office." Its guideline sheet lists what a building permit may need, including a "Zoning Permit obtained from CCA" and, for Lapeer Township, a "Stake Inspection (per Township Ordinance) conducted by CCA, when applicable" and a "Driveway Inspection (per Township Ordinance) conducted by CCA, when applicable". The fee schedule lists a "Contractor Licensing Administrative Fee - We need to verify license yearly" of $15, re-inspections at $81 each and a $100 administrative fee when "Construction Started Without Permit - job red-tagged".
