Home / Roofing by City / Ravenna Township (Muskegon County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Ravenna Township (Muskegon County), MI, issued by Ravenna Township - Zoning and Building Permits. Ravenna Township publishes nothing specific to roof work. With the township 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 township has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The township's Contact page FAQ sends a builder first to the zoning administrator ("you must fill out a Zoning Compliance Form") and then to "the proper permits as issued by the building department/inspectors", and its Zoning Administration page says the township partners with Fresh Coast Planning as its Zoning Administrator, who is at the township office on Tuesday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. by appointment. The township's Zoning Compliance Application carries "Application Fee: $50.00", and its fee schedule heads a list "Building Department Fees" with "Projects started without required permits will be subject to a Stop Work Order fee of $100.00" and "A civil infraction ticket with fines may also be issued."; the schedule lists no building permit or roofing fee, so ask the township office for the current fee. The township office is at 3770 Blackmer Road, Ravenna, MI 49451, phone 231-853-6205, open Monday through Wednesday from 9:00am to 2:00pm, closed Thursday, and Friday from 9:00am to 12:00pm.
