Roofing in Raisinville Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Raisinville Township, MI, issued by Raisinville Township - Building Department.

The Building Permit Application says "(The first $100.00 of an application is non-refundable)" and "(Includes $50.00 Certificate of Occupancy Fee)" and asks for a set of construction documents "unless waived by the building official when code compliance can be determined based on the description in the application". No fee schedule is posted for roof work, so ask the department for the current fee. Electrical, mechanical and plumbing inspections are made with those inspectors, "not through the Township".

Roofing permits & building code in Raisinville Township

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Raisinville Township are set locally by Raisinville Township - 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." LARA's Statewide Jurisdiction List names the Township of Raisinville as its own building code enforcer. The township's Building Permit Application sorts residential work as "Buildings Regulated by the Michigan Residential Code" and names no edition, and the Zoning Ordinance refers to a "Township Building Code" and a "Building Code and Blight Ordinance" without naming an edition. The text of those building ordinances is not posted on the township's website, and no township document read names a residential code older than 2015, so this record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code for the reasons above.
Registration details
  • 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.
  • city_level: The Building Permit Application asks the contractor for a builders license number and expiration date, a federal employer ID number or the reason for exemption, a workers compensation insurance carrier or the reason for exemption and an unemployment insurance agency employer account number or the reason for exemption. The township's Building Department page and application name no separate township contractor registration. This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside a state exemption.
