Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Springfield (Oakland County) Township, MI, issued by Charter Township of Springfield - Building Department. The Charter Township of Springfield has published nothing that names roof work either way: its Building Department pages, its building permit application, its fee schedule (last amended April 1, 2026) and Chapter 8 of its code have no line for reroofing. With the department silent on reroofs, the state's general permit rule applies: "before construction of a building or structure, the owner, or the owner's builder, architect, engineer, or agent, shall submit an application in writing to the appropriate enforcing agency for a building permit." The same section says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure," without defining ordinary repairs, and the department has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The department says "Please call (248) 846-6517 for all building related questions or concerns." The office is open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and closed Fridays, and permits "may be submitted at any time and will be processed either offsite or on the next business day." Where a permit is pulled, the fee schedule prices building permits for items not listed "(such as some repairs or renovations)" at $9.00 per $1,000 of the valuation or cost of the project, charges a "Double Permit Fee" for work without a permit, and charges an $85.00 re-inspection fee that must be paid before the re-inspection. Payment is by cash or check, and the township does not accept online payments.
