Home / Roofing by City / Pokagon Township (Cass County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Pokagon Township (Cass County), MI, issued by Pokagon Township - Building Department. Pokagon Township publishes nothing specific to roof work. With the township's pages 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 state section says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure," without defining ordinary repairs, and the township has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The township's Building page lists a Building Inspector and a Zoning Administrator, each with the office line 269-782-8756 and office hours on Monday evenings from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., holidays permitting, an Electrical Inspector, and a Plumbing & Mechanical Inspector, and links a Building & Zoning Permit Cloud Permit portal (the portal is a sign-in page and its contents were not read) and electrical, plumbing and mechanical permit forms. Its Zoning Ordinance, Section 2.5, ties a building permit to the Michigan Construction Code and the Zoning Administrator's permit comes first.
