Home / Roofing by City / Leroy Township (Calhoun County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Leroy Township (Calhoun County), MI, issued by Township of Leroy (Calhoun County) - Building Department. The Leroy Township Building Department publishes nothing specific to roof work: its Forms page and its Building Permit & Site Plan Review Application name no roofing line, no reroof exemption and no size or cost point. 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 posts printable and fillable building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permit applications, and the Forms page says they are also "available in the office lobby Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9:00 am – 4:30 pm". The Forms page lists the inspections "that can be required" for a building permit as a footing, rough-in and final inspection and an occupancy permit, and the application states "THE PERMIT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO CALL FOR ALL INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO COVERING CONSTRUCTION WORK." The application's validation block lists an "ADMINISTRATIVE FEE (Min. $50)", an "INSPECTION/INVESTIGATION FEE" and a "PLAN REVIEW FEE" and a "WORK BEFORE APPLYING FEE ($150 min.)"; no fee schedule is posted, so ask the department what a reroof permit costs. A permit "WILL BE CLOSED WHEN NO INSPECTIONS ARE REQUESTED OR CONDUCTED WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS" and "THE CHARGE TO RE-OPEN A CLOSED PERMIT IS $75."
