Home / Roofing by City / Metamora Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Metamora Township, MI, issued by Metamora Township - Building Department. The township's published permit material says nothing specific about roof work: the Building page, the Building Permit Information sheet, the building permit application and the fee schedules name no roofing line and no reroof exemption. With the township 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 township has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The Building Permit Information sheet says "Permits are available at the Township Hall during regular business hours or on Metamoratownship.com" and "All other permits including address and zoning are available at the Metamora Township Hall". The Planning & Zoning page says "In most cases, a zoning permit must be obtained from the planning & zoning Department prior to the issuance of a building permit." The Residential Building Permit Fee Schedule (effective 4/1/2023) has no roofing line; it lists "HOME REMODELING" at a $150.00 building permit fee with rough and final inspections, and the township's administration fee schedule says "All other building MRC permits issued after April 1, 2023 will be subject to an administration fee based on estimated project cost" and "The administration fee must be paid before a building permit can be issued." The township does not say whether a reroof is priced as home remodeling, so ask the Building Department for the current fee. The Building page says "Building inspections are conducted Monday through Friday. To schedule a Friday inspection, you must call by 2:00PM on Thursday." and gives a 24-hour inspection request line at 810-678-2237. The township offices at 730 W. Dryden Road, Metamora, MI 48455, phone 810-678-2237 or 810-678-2238, are open Monday to Thursday 8:00AM to 4:00PM.
