Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Whiteford Township, MI, issued by Township of Whiteford - Building Department. In Whiteford Township a reroof takes a building permit: the township's Application for Plan Examination and Building Permit lists "Tearoff/Reroof" among its types of improvement and asks for the cost of the improvement, the contractor's builder's license number and expiration date, and the contractor's "Workers Comp. Ins. Carrier or Reason for Exemption". The Building Department's page says "If any structure is begun without first pulling a building permit, the permit fee will be doubled." It also says "TWO complete set of building plans and TWO sets of site plans must be supplied to the building inspector prior to the issuance of a building permit"; the application's own checklist of documents to turn in lists plans only for a new building and a new accessory building, so ask the Building Inspector what a reroof needs.
