Home / Roofing by City / Royal Oak Township (Oakland County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Royal Oak Township (Oakland County), MI, issued by Charter Township of Royal Oak - Building Department. In Royal Oak Township a reroof falls to the Building Department, whose Planning & Building page says "The Royal Oak Township Building Department is responsible for building permits, inspections and sign permits for both residential and commercial properties." The department posts no statement on reroofs, so the state rule decides: building permits are the general rule and "ordinary repairs" are undefined. Applications are fillable forms that "must be submitted to Township Hall 21131 Gardenlane - 2nd Floor, Grant School - Ferndale, MI 48220." The Building Clerk takes calls at 248-965-3582, Room 211, Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Each application needs a copy of the applicant's State license or contractor's license, a copy of the applicant's driver's license and, if insured, liability insurance; a residential building permit adds "Residential Project: 3 sets of plans". The application says "Separate permits are required for electrical, mechanical, and plumbing" and "No work may be started before the approval of this permit." Payment is by check or cash: "Unfortunately, we do not accept credit card payments at this time." The department says "Permit fees for Building Department applications are listed on the application forms and are up-to-date", and Section 6-20 of the Code of Ordinances sets permit fees by township board resolution; the building permit application itself prints no fee amounts.
