Home / Roofing by City / Zeeland, Michigan

Yes, a permit is required to replace a roof in Zeeland, MI, issued by City of Zeeland - Building Department. In the City of Zeeland the building permit application is where roof work is filed: under "4. TYPE OF PROJECT" its "Roof" section asks for the "Number of squares" and "Are You Sheeting?" and "Are you installing Ice & water Sheild?", and the form states "NO WORK IS TO START PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT" and "Project started without a permit may be subject to additional administrative fee of $100". Residential projects submit 2 sets of plans. The Building and Zoning page says "Permit applications can be mailed, e-mailed or dropped off at City Hall" and recommends calling first "because many properties outside of the City limits still have a Zeeland address!" Its fee schedule reads "Base Permit Fee : $50.00" plus "$5.00 additional for each $1,000 in project value" for projects up to $500,000; the city's Code of Ordinances, Section 10-26 (Ord. No. 856, 8-6-2007), prints a different schedule ("$20.00 + $3.00 for each additional $1,000.00 over $1,000.00" from $1,001 to $25,000), and the department's published fee schedule is headed "As of February 2022", so confirm the current fee with the department. The page says all building and zoning fees "can be paid with cash, check, or by credit card". To ask about permitting or inspection, call the Community Development Department at 616-772-0872, and call the inspector's number printed on the permit at least two days before an inspection.
