Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Oneida Township (Eaton County), MI, issued by Charter Township of Oneida - Building Department. The Oneida Charter Township Building Department publishes nothing specific to roof work: its Building page, Forms page and 2026 building permit 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 Building Inspector "Receives building permit applications; reviews, checks, examines construction plans, specifications and drawings to determine building code compliance with the State and Local codes", issues the permits and makes the inspections, and the Building page says "If you are unsure whether or not a permit is required, please contact our Building Inspector." The 2026 application says "Building work shall not be started until the permit has been issued." and "Inspections are typically performed within two (2) business days subject to the inspection schedule."; its closing-out rule reads "A PERMIT WILL BE CLOSED WHEN NO INSPECTIONS ARE REQUESTED AND CONDUCTED WITHIN 180 DAYS OF THE DATE OF ISSUANCE OR THE DATE OF A PREVIOUS INSPECTION", and "THE CHARGE TO RE-OPEN A CLOSED PERMIT IS $75.00." For an outside addition or new construction the Building page requires approval from the Eaton-Barry health Department, Environmental Health Unit, at 517-541-2615. No fee schedule is posted on the Building or Forms page, so ask the department for the current fee. The Building Inspector's line is (517) 925-6276.
