Roofing permits & building code in Luna Pier

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Luna Pier are set locally by City of Luna Pier - Building Department. Michigan licenses residential roofers at the state level — the Occupational Code’s residential maintenance and alteration contractor licence names roofing among its trades, with exemptions that include a job whose whole contract price is under $600 — and some cities add a local contractor registration on top, while the Michigan Residential Code applies throughout the state, so a city, village, township or county enforces the state code rather than writing its own roofing rules — always confirm the current requirements with the authority before starting work.

Adopted building code
2015 Michigan Residential Code. This is state law and it is the same in every Michigan city, village, township and county: the state construction code act says "This act and the code apply throughout the state," and the Michigan Residential Code rule adopts "the international residential code, 2015 edition" with the state amendments in R 408.30500 to R 408.30547g. A 2021 edition was filed with the secretary of state in 2025 but has not taken effect. On July 7, 2025 the Michigan Court of Claims entered a stipulated order in Home Builders Assoc et al. v LARA et al., and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) says that while that order remains in place "the 2015 versions of the IRC and residential provisions of the IECC standards currently adopted, in part, by each rule set will remain valid and in effect." LARA's Statewide Jurisdiction List names the City of Luna Pier as a local building code enforcer. The city's Building & Zoning page says "The 2015 Michigan Residential Code is now in effect." and the city's Ordinance 230 designates its building official and inspectors as the enforcing agency under the state construction code act and names no residential code edition. The city's property maintenance ordinances adopt editions of the International Property Maintenance Code (Ordinance 226, adopted April 23, 2015: "the International Property Maintenance Code, 2009 edition"; Ordinance 200: "the 2006 edition of the International Property Maintenance Code"), which is not a residential code.
