Home / Roofing by City / Watersmeet Township, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Watersmeet Township, MI, issued by Township of Watersmeet - Building Inspector. Watersmeet Township has published nothing specific to roof work. Its Zoning & Building page lists a Building Inspector who will "Issue building permits" and "Inspect buildings or structures to determine compliance with the land use permits issued", with office telephone 906-358-4501 and no set office hours ("drop-ins are accepted, appointments are encouraged"). The Township's Procedure for Obtaining a Zoning Permit (revised 6/21/23) says "The building inspector will not issue a building permit until a zoning permit has been approved" and "The zoning permit fee is $125 which includes an initial site visit." The posted Building Permit Fee Schedule prices "Remodels, Renovations, and Alterations, other than general maintenance" at "$50.00 plus 0.3% of value from $0 to $100,000", with a "Minimum permit fee of $100.00 plus mileage", and it has no roofing line. Ordinance No. 11A says that if a building permit is revoked or suspended or a stop work order is issued, work does not resume until the responsible party pays a fee equal to "five (5) times the current permit fee." 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 Township has published nothing applying either relief to roof work. The State's jurisdiction list assigns the Township's building code to the Township and its electrical, mechanical and plumbing codes to the State, and the Township's State Construction Contacts sheet lists the Bureau of Construction Codes divisions.
