Home / Roofing by City / Pennfield Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Pennfield Township, MI, issued by Charter Township of Pennfield - Inspections and Permits. The Charter Township of Pennfield's Inspection Department has published nothing specific to reroofs. Its Inspections & Permits page says "Applications for building permits, change-in-land-use permits, fire sprinkler permits, and fire alarm permits are issued through the Township Office", and the state's general rule is the one that applies: before construction of a building or structure, an application is submitted to the enforcing agency for a building permit, and "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure," without a definition of ordinary repairs (MCL 125.1510). The department says nothing else about roof permits, so a roofer should ask it. The township's fee schedule page carries only the heading "BUILDING PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE" and no figures, and Section 10-51 leaves permit fees to the township board, so ask for the current fee. The township's residential checklist says "Contractors must submit a copy of their Builder's License, Liability Insurance, and Workers Compensation to register with Pennfield Township." and "A $5.00 fee for the year will also be paid by the contractor." The application says "A PERMIT SHALL BECOME INVALID IF THE AUTHORIZED WORK IS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN 180 DAYS AFTER ISSUANCE OF THE PERMIT", and a homeowner doing the work in a single-family dwelling they live in signs the application's homeowner affidavit. The township office is at 20260 Capital Avenue N.E., Battle Creek, MI 49017 (269-968-8549) and its home page lists hours of "Mon-Thu: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.".
