Home / Roofing by City / Walker, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Walker, MI, issued by City of Walker - Building Department (Community Development). Plan on a building permit for a reroof in Walker. The Building Department publishes nothing specific on reroofs; its page says it "assists residents and businesses in fulfilling the State of Michigan building, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing construction codes," and Section 18-26 of the City Code makes the building official responsible for "reviewing permit applications and issuing permits pursuant to the Construction Code." The general rule of the state construction code act therefore applies: an application "to the appropriate enforcing agency for a building permit" before construction, with the undefined exception that "A building permit is not required for ordinary repairs of a building or structure." Call the department if unsure. Contractors and homeowners can apply through the BS&A portal or by emailing, mailing or bringing in the Building Permit Application. The city's fee schedule (Resolution 24-731, adopted September 23, 2024) prices a one- and two-family permit at $60.00 for the first $1,000 of project value, $10.00 for each added $1,000 up to $10,000 and $5.00 for each added $1,000 above that; additional inspections are $50.00 and reinstating an expired permit is $75.00.
