Home / Roofing by City / Mussey Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Mussey Township, MI, issued by Township of Mussey - Building Department. Mussey Township has published nothing that names roof work either way: its Buildings page, building permit application, building requirements sheet and building permit fee schedule have no roofing line, and the fee schedule prices new homes and additions, pole buildings and garages, decks and porches, ponds, solar panels, commercial work, signs, moving a building and demolition but not a reroof. 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, so ask the Building Department before you start. The township's fee schedule says the "Building official/Department has discretion to lower permit fees and Inspector Bond on smaller projects" and sets a fee for "Starting without a permit" of "$100.00 to $500.00 based on size of project." The Buildings page says "If licensed contractor is doing the work, must supply a copy of their current Michigan State License." Applications are mailed to Mussey Township, P.O. Box 118, Capac, MI 48014, or faxed to 810-395-7182; the office number is 810-395-4915 and the township office is open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The application form and fee schedule still print the township's former address, 135 N.
