Home / Roofing by City / North Branch Township (Lapeer County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in North Branch Township (Lapeer County), MI, issued by Township of North Branch - Building Department. The North Branch Township Building Department has published nothing that names roof work either way. Its page says "This Department issues permits for the Village and the Township of North Branch," that "Permits are availabe online which then must be submitted to the office along with appropriate fees," and that "All inspections are scheduled through the office at 810.688.3031." Its residential building permit application lists the fees "$100 PER INSPECTION", "$20/HR - PLAN REVIEW ACCESSORY BUILDINGS" and "$60/HR - PLAN REVIEW RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL" and has no roofing line, and the department also takes a contractor registration form that asks for the contractor's license and a copy of the state registration. 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 department before you start. The township offices, at 6771 Elm Street, are open "Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. or by appointment", and the department says "ALL INSPECTORS ARE AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.".
