Additional Notes

NOTE different spelling from 'Winsor Township' (Huron County) elsewhere in this batch — these are unrelated jurisdictions. Windsor Charter Township appears to administer its own building permits directly (Building Department phone 517-919-1566 option #5, email Windsorbuildingdept@gmail.com) rather than delegating to Eaton County, per the township's own official contacts page. Zoning Administrator/Supervisor Beth Shaw: (517) 648-3528, supervisor@windsortownship.com. The township's own site indicated its office was relocating to 9136 Bridge Hwy, Dimondale, MI 48821 effective September 22, 2026 (very close to today's date) — the 405 W. Jefferson St. address may soon be superseded; verify current address before use. Eaton County's Department of Construction Codes (517-543-3004, constructioncode@eatoncounty.org, BS&A portal https://bsaonline.com/DirectUrl/Cd_PermitApplicationContractor/418) exists as a countywide alternative, but it was not confirmed that Windsor Charter Township uses it given the township's own building department appears active.

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 — Windsor Charter 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.
