Planning a roof repair, home remodel, addition, garage, deck, etc? You must have a building/zoning permit before the work has begun. If you are not sure if you need a permit, please call the Building Department. If you are not doing the work yourself, you must hire a Michigan licensed contractor. This contractor should pull the permits, making them liable for the project. If you are unsure if your contractor is licensed, you can do a search here or contact the Building Department at 269-424-3125.
