Building/Elec/Plumb/Mech
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, contact the Building Department at 269-424-3125.
