Roofing in Taymouth Township, Michigan
Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Taymouth Township, MI, issued by Township of Taymouth - Building Department. The Taymouth Township building permit form and fee schedule publish nothing specific to roof work. With the township 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 township has not applied that relief to roof work. The Forms page lists building, soil erosion, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and zoning permits and a contractor registration form and no online permit portal, and the application says "NOTE: SEPARATE APPLICATIONS MUST BE COMPLETED FOR PLUMBING, MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL WORK PERMITS." The fee schedule says its fees cover "all of the inspections required under the most current Michigan Building Code, promulgated by the International Code Council", and prices reinspections at "$100.00 per inspection". The Contact page lists a "Building" line at (989) 624-4159 Ext. #2 and posts township office hours of Monday to Thursday 9:00 AM to 12 and 12:30 to 5:00 PM and Friday 7:00 AM to 12. The township hall is at 4343 E. Birch Run Road, Birch Run, MI 48415.

Roofing permits & building code in Taymouth Township
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Taymouth Township are set locally by Township of Taymouth - 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.
- city_level: Taymouth Township registers contractors: its Contractor Registration Form lists "Fee: $15.00" and says "TO BE PROVIDED: 1.) COPY OF STATE LICENSE 2.) PICTURE ID (I.E. DRIVERS LICENSE, COMPANY I.D.) 3.) WORKMANS COMP. CERTIFICATE (OR) PROVIDE A DISABILITY EXEMPTION FORM (PER 2B ABOVE)".
