Roofing in Rose Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Rose Township, MI, issued by Rose Township - Building, Zoning & Code Enforcement Department. Rose Township's Building, Zoning & Code Enforcement Department page says "Rose Township is now offering a new online system, powered by GovWell" and that "Community members and contractors can submit requests, track status, and access information online." It names no roofing permit and no reroof rule, and neither does the building permit application, which says "Separate Applications Must be Completed for Plumbing, Mechanical and Electrical Work Permits." The department's permit packet, revised 5/28/25, says "Please allow 10 days for building department plan review of your residential application and construction plans." and lists, among "the most common code violations found in residential construction", "Failure to install ice and water shield." and "Failure to provide roof underlayment on all roof systems regardless of slope". The application form is headed Code Enforcement Services, Inc. with phone (248) 625-8480, while the department page lists 248.634.0290; the township offices are at 9080 Mason St., Holly, MI 48442, 248-634-7551, open 8:30 to 4:30 Monday through Thursday.

Roofing permits & building code in Rose Township

Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Rose Township are set locally by Rose Township - Building, Zoning & Code Enforcement 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.

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 Rose in Oakland County as its own building code enforcer. The township's Planning & Building Department permit packet, revised 5/28/25, says "All buildings and structures shall be constructed in accordance with the Michigan Residential Code or Michigan Building Code." and names no edition. The township's website links its ordinances to a Municode library that listed no codified ordinance when read on Oct 12, 2026, and no township building ordinance was found on the site, so none was read.
