Home / Roofing by City / Saginaw Township, Michigan

No, Saginaw Township, MI does not require a permit for like-for-like roof replacement (Charter Township of Saginaw - Building Department). In the Charter Township of Saginaw the Building Department draws the permit line at the structure and the wood under the shingles. Its FAQ says of roofing a house: "If you are merely removing and replacing shingles, you do not need a permit. If the work involves replacing any portion of the structure or replacing the support structures or wood underneath you most likely need a permit. Call 989-791-9865." That no-permit line is the department's stated practice: no enacted text names roof work either way, state law requires a permit "before construction of a building or structure" and relieves "ordinary repairs" without defining them, and this record does not decide whether the department's line is its reading of that relief. The department's Building page also says "Please call 989-791-9865 to verify if permits and plans are needed". Where a permit is needed, the building permit application asks for the contractor's builders license number, and the FAQ says a building permit has "A base permit fee of $80 (as of January 2022)" plus "an additional fee of $8.00 for every $1,000 in construction cost (subject to change)."
