Additional Notes

Clinton County's official building department page (clinton-county.org) states the department provides building permitting for 13 General Law Townships in the county, but the fetched page excerpt did not explicitly name Lebanon Township (a linked jurisdiction list/map document, not retrieved, would confirm this definitively). Lebanon Township is a general law township, making county coverage likely but not fully certain from what was retrieved — treat as a strong but unconfirmed lead. No official Lebanon Township website was found at all; a third-party source lists a Township Hall at 14234 Kinley Rd, Fowler, MI 48835 and clerk phone 989-593-2193, which is unconfirmed and not used as the primary contact here.

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 — Lebanon 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.
