No, South Haven Township, MI does not require a permit for like-for-like roof replacement (Charter Township of South Haven - Building Department (Michigan Township Services)). In South Haven Charter Township the notice to the public says permits are required for dwelling "Alterations / remodel EXCEPT - shingles or siding," so a shingle reroof is outside the township's list. That is the township's stated practice: no enacted text names roof work either way, state law requires a permit "before construction of a building or structure" and says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure" without defining them, and this record does not decide whether the township's line is its reading of that relief. A job that goes beyond shingles is outside the notice's words, so call Michigan Township Services at 269-673-3239 before starting. Where a building permit is needed, the township's information sheet says to send Michigan Township Services, 111 Grand Street, Allegan, a complete application, a site plan, a zoning application, an agent authorization form if a builder pulls the permit, and three sets of plans; electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits are separate. Zoning permits go through the township's zoning administrator at the township hall, 09761 Blue Star Memorial Highway, 269-637-3305. For inspections, the Michigan Township Services permit-holder sheet says "Requesting inspections - MUST be called in before 9am to get the same day," the permit "must be posted and visible from the road," and a "re-inspection fee of $50.00" is charged if the site is not ready or is inaccessible. The township's zoning fee schedule effective February 12, 2025 has no building permit fee; Ordinance No. 43 lets the township board set construction code fees by resolution, and no building fee schedule is posted on the township's page or on the Michigan Township Services page for the township, so ask the Building Department for the current fee.
