Roofing in Wayland, Michigan
Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Wayland, MI, issued by City of Wayland - Building Permits (Professional Code Inspections of Michigan). The City of Wayland has published nothing that names roof work, and neither has Professional Code Inspections (PCI), the firm that runs its building department, so the state's general permit rule supplies the requirement and the city's referral is quoted: "Call the PCI Office for questions relating to this." Under that rule, "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 city has published nothing applying that relief to roof work. Section 6-27 of the city's Code of Ordinances provides that "the building inspector of the city is hereby designated as the enforcing agency for the city", and the city's fee schedule says "Professional Code Inspections of Michigan (PCI), located in Dorr, MI, was appointed to provide these services for the City of Wayland." The Guide says "The Building Department will review COMPLETED applications within 10 days and either approve work to begin or contact applicant to adjust plans before beginning work", and that "For all, the permit base fee is $40, with additional fees dependent on the type of work and inspections being done." The fee schedule lists no building permit fee amounts, so ask PCI for the current fee. PCI's Dorr office is at 1575 142nd Street, Dorr, MI 49323, phone 616-877-2000, and PCI's BS&A Online Submit page lists a Dorr Office portal where permits can be submitted and inspections scheduled. City Hall, at 103 South Main Street, Wayland, MI 49348, phone 269-792-2265, is the city's general office. Wayland Township is a separate building code unit on the state's list and is not covered by this record.

Roofing permits & building code in Wayland
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Wayland are set locally by City of Wayland - Building Permits (Professional Code Inspections of Michigan). 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.
