Additional Notes
Michigan is a home-rule state; as an incorporated village, Augusta administers its own permitting rather than through Kalamazoo County (Kalamazoo County has no county-wide zoning/building authority). The Village's own 'Forms & Permits' page exists but did not display specific downloadable permit forms/portal links at time of research - only contact info. No dedicated 'building inspector' or 'zoning administrator' title was found on the Village's Administration staff page; permit inquiries appear to route through the Office Manager/Village Clerk. Not part of the Kalamazoo Area Building Authority (KABA), which serves Comstock, Kalamazoo, Richland townships, City of Parchment, and Village of Richland - hedge: Augusta's exact inspection-contractor arrangement (if any) for trades (electrical/mechanical/plumbing) could not be confirmed on an official source.
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 — Village of Augusta'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.
