Roofing permits & building code in Rollin Township (Lenawee County)

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Rollin Township (Lenawee County) are set locally by Township of Rollin - 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 Rollin as a local building code enforcer. The township's own "Codes in Effect" sheet, posted April 1, 2025, lists "Building - 2015 Michigan Residential Code (MRC) (effective February 8, 2016)" for residential projects and "2021 Michigan Building Code (MBC) (effective April 19, 2025)" for commercial projects, and its building permit application, dated 4/1/2025, says "Codes in Effect: 2015 MRC & 2021 MBC". The township's State Construction Code Ordinance, Ordinance No. 42 adopted May 10, 2017, assumes enforcement of the Michigan Building Code, the Michigan Residential Code and the other state codes and names no edition. The township's 1986 Recodification Ordinance, Ordinance No. 9, repealed its 1974 Building Code Ordinance, and no older local building code appears on the township's ordinance list.
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: Rollin Township publishes no contractor licence or registration of its own. Its building permit application asks the contractor for a licence type ("Residential Builder" or "Maintenance & Alteration"), licence number and expiration, and its general instruction packet requires a copy of the current state licence when a contractor pulls a permit.
