Roofing permits & building code in Rolland Township (Isabella County)

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Rolland Township (Isabella County) are set locally by Township of Rolland - Joint Construction Code Authority (JCCA). 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 Rolland as a local building code enforcer. Rolland Township's Ordinance 2004 - 3 - 1, enacted March 9, 2004 and listed as "JCCA Ordinance 2004" on the township's Ordinances & Resolutions page, adopts "Michigan Residential Code 2003" among other codes as a member of the Joint Construction Code Authority, and its Ordinance 2001 - 02 - 08, enacted August 14, 2001, adopts "Michigan Residential Code 2000"; this directory has not read that text, and whether the codified reference has any effect today is not decided here. This record states the 2015 Michigan Residential Code, which the state construction code act applies throughout the state ("This act and the code apply throughout the state," MCL 125.1508a) and which LARA says remains in effect while the Court of Claims order of July 7, 2025 stands. Rolland Township has published no statement naming the edition it enforces; the JCCA's Permit Process & FAQs, read October 15, 2026, says "a complete understanding and working knowledge of the current Building Code(s)". The township's Ordinances & Resolutions page also says "Rolland Township Ordinances have been suspended as of the Township Board Meeting on 7/09/2025."
