Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Windsor Township, MI, issued by Windsor Charter Township - Building and Trades Department. In Windsor Charter Township the Building Department takes permit applications on its Building Permit Application, which asks the contractor for a state of Michigan licence number and expiration date, a federal employer ID number (or reason for exemption), and a workers' compensation carrier (or reason for exemption), and says "Building work shall not be started until the permit has been issued". The department's page says "Structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work covered under the Michigan Building Code is not to be commenced without approval of permit and inspection of work performed under said permit."

Roofing permits & building code in Windsor Township
Roofing permit and contractor-licensing rules in Windsor Township are set locally by Windsor Charter Township - Building and Trades Department. 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.
- state_level: Michigan licenses residential maintenance and alteration contractors under the Occupational Code, and that licence "includes the following crafts and trades" among which it names roofing (MCL 339.2404(3)); "A person shall not engage in or attempt to engage in the practice of an occupation regulated under this act" without the licence (MCL 339.601(1)). MCL 339.2403 lists who may work without one, including a project whose "aggregate contract price for the labor, material, and any other items for the undertaking or project is less than $600.00". This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside an exemption.
- city_level: The Windsor Charter Township Building Department asks licensed contractors to register: "In order to effectively and efficiently process permit applications for licensed contractors, we ask that licensed individuals register with the Township." It adds "This is not required and no fee is associated with the registration." and says "Non-registered applicants will be asked to produce evidence of appropriate license held for each permit application completed prior to issuance." The department's licensing sheet states "A RESIDENTIAL BUILDERS LICENSE IS REQUIRED FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDERS DOING WORK ON ANY HOME THAT IS NOT THEIR OWN FOR REMODELS, REPAIRS AND NEW BUILDS", citing the state construction code act and the Occupational Code. This record does not decide whether a given roofer falls inside a state exemption.
