Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Leonard, MI, issued by Village of Leonard - Building Department. In the Village of Leonard the permit answer rests on the general state rule, because the village has published nothing on reroofs. The Permits & Codes page offers Building Permits, Residential Mechanical, Commercial Electrical, Commercial Mechanical, Plumbing and Residential Electrical permit forms and a Village Fee Schedule, and lists a building official by title. The fee schedule says "Failure to apply for and receive a Building; Plumbing; Electrical or Mechanical (HVAC) before commencing construction will result in applying a multiplier of 2", and Section 12.1(e) of the Code of Ordinances says "Upon application for any building permit, the applicant shall deposit with his application a building permit performance guarantee". The building permit application gives the Building Department at 23 E Elmwood, Leonard MI 48367, phone 248-628-7380, and the Permits & Codes page lists office hours of "Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM" and "By appointment only 3PM to 5PM on regular office days". The state's general rule is that "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", and the same section says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure," without defining ordinary repairs.
