Additional Notes

Official site domain is leroytwp-calhounmi.gov; email buildingdept@leroytownship.org uses a different (.org) domain than the .gov site, found via search rather than directly quoted on the .gov page, so treat with slight caution though it is plausible as an official township email. Building permit application is available via a Laserfiche fillable-forms portal (portal.laserfiche.com/u5695/forms/Bldg), listed as the current database/portal. Direct phone extension for the Building Department is (269) 979-9421 ext. 116 per the township's own forms page. This is a distinct, unrelated government from Leroy Township (Ingham Co.) and LeRoy Township (Osceola Co.) below despite the similar name.

What You Need Before Applying for a Permit

Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Leroy Township's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.

Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
