Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Standish, MI, issued by City of Standish - Building Permits. The City of Standish has published nothing specific to roof work and no building permit fee schedule. Its Forms page offers a Building Permit Application that is headed "Area Code Enforcement" and gives the office as 4742 M-13, Pinconning, Michigan 48650, with telephone (989) 313-2168, and the form ends "Checks payable to: Area Code Enforcement, 4742 North M-13, Pinconning, MI 48650"; it asks for the job address, type of construction, use group, owner, contractor, whether zoning applies and whether mechanical, plumbing or electrical permits are also required. 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 state section says "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure," without defining ordinary repairs, and the City has published nothing applying either relief to roof work. Ordinance 236 (May 21, 2007) assumed responsibility for enforcing the state construction code and designated a private code enforcement business as the enforcing agency, and Ordinance 242 (June 16, 2008) designates "the (Building, Electrical, Mechanical or Plumbing) Code Official of the City of Standish" as the enforcing agency.
