Roofing in Pavilion Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Pavilion Township, MI, issued by Charter Township of Pavilion - Building Department. In Pavilion Township a reroof goes through the township's contracted building department: the township's Building Permits page says "PAVILION TOWNSHIP CURRENTLY CONTRACTS WITH:" "ASSOCIATED GOVERNMENT SERVICES (AGS)." for "Building, Mechanical, Electrical", plan reviews, plumbing, code enforcement, demolition permits, zoning and onsite sewer inspections, and gives AGS's line as 269-629-0600. AGS's Building Permit application, posted for all of its jurisdictions, lists "Re-Roofing" among its project types, shows the department at 8721 Gull Road, Suite B in Richland, and its "Roof Repair" requirement asks for drawings of the roof covering materials, the number of layers, decking, roof venting and flashing. The township page also says "NEED AN ADDRESS FOR A PROPERTY YOU ARE BUILDING ON?" and that an address is needed before a building permit can be had. The township's fee schedule ("Revised 2021") lists planning and zoning fees and "ZONING COMPLIANCE PERMIT: FREE" and posts no building permit fee, so ask AGS for the current fee.

Roofing permits & building code in Pavilion Township

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Pavilion Township are set locally by Charter Township of Pavilion - 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.

Roofing permit
Required
Contractor registration
Required
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." Part 145 of Pavilion Township's Code of Ordinances (Ord. No. 100, adopted August 9, 1993, amended by Ord. No. 121, 5-8-00) says "the Township assumes the responsibility for the administration and enforcement of the Michigan Construction Code and that Code is hereby adopted as the Building Code of the Township of Pavilion" and names no edition of any residential code. The compilation is codified through Ordinance No. 183, adopted June 9, 2025. Part 149 (Ord. No. 51, adopted June 17, 1977) adopts the "American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90-75, Energy Conservation in New Building Design", and Part 130 (Ord. No. 97, adopted July 8, 1991) adopts the "UNIFORM FIRE CODE AND UNIFORM FIRE CODE STANDARDS"; an energy standard for new building designs and a fire code are not residential code editions, and their text was not read for this record's roof fields.
Registration details
  • city_level: Pavilion Township's Building Permits page and Part 145 of its Code of Ordinances name no separate township contractor registration; the Associated Government Services Building Permit application asks for a federal ID or Social Security number, an MESC employer number, a workers compensation carrier and a license number with expiration date, or the reason for exemption. This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside a state exemption.
  • state_level: Michigan licenses residential maintenance and alteration contractors under the Occupational Code, and that licence "includes the following crafts and trades" among which it names roofing (MCL 339.2404(3)); "A person shall not engage in or attempt to engage in the practice of an occupation regulated under this act" without the licence (MCL 339.601(1)). MCL 339.2403 lists who may work without one, including a project whose "aggregate contract price for the labor, material, and any other items for the undertaking or project is less than $600.00". This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside an exemption.
