Home / Roofing by City / Wayne Township (Cass County), Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Wayne Township (Cass County), MI, issued by Wayne Township - Building Inspector and Zoning. Wayne Township publishes nothing specific to roof work in its building permit materials. Its Forms page lists "Building Permit" and "Building Permit Video Tutorial", and its Services page lists "CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS" including the Building Inspector, 269-999-6475, who with the Zoning Administrator is "at the Township Hall on Thursdays from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm". The township's Zoning Ordinance, Section 2004, says "A zoning permit is required prior to the erection, addition, or alteration of any buildings or portion thereof" and "No Zoning Permit shall be required in cases of normal maintenance activities, minor repairs and alterations which do not structurally change a building or structure"; that is the zoning permit, and the township's zoning application is a separate form. For the building permit, 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 published nothing applying that relief to roof work. The township posts no building permit fee schedule; ask for the current fee. The Township Hall is at 53950 Glenwood Road, Dowagiac, MI 49047, telephone (269) 782-7017.
