In the Village of Spring Lake a reroof is permit work with MTSM, whose "Building Permit Application: Maintenance/Alterations" lists "Roofing $75.00" with the words "tear off reroof/roof over"; its Municipality/Jurisdiction line is left for the applicant to fill in.

Roofing permits & building code in Spring Lake
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Spring Lake are set locally by Village of Spring Lake - 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.
- 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.
