Home / Roofing by City / Lenox Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Lenox Township, MI, issued by Charter Township of Lenox - Building Department. The Charter Township of Lenox Building Department has published nothing specific to roof work: its fee schedule, updated as of 4/2026, prices accessory buildings, carports, decks and porches, demolition, egress windows, foundations and building permits, solar panels and special inspections and has no roofing line, and its Application for Plan Examination and Building Permit lists "Repair" among the types of improvement with 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. The township's Chapter 707 assumes responsibility for enforcing the State Construction Code and sets fees "by resolution of the Township Board." The fee schedule lists a "$150.00 PENALTY FOR STARTING WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT" and says "PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE", so confirm the current fee with the department. The permit application is an online form on the township's website, and the department is at 63775 Gratiot Avenue, Lenox, at 586-727-2085; the Building Official and Inspector is reached at extension 123.
