Additional Notes

Township's own official site (homertownshipcalhouncounty.gov) states conditional use permits and zoning are handled at the township level (Zoning Administrator Erich Gilg), while most other (building) permits go through SCMCCI (South Central Michigan Contractors and Constructors Inc.) at (269) 729-5355, 113 S Capital Ave, Athens, MI 49011 - this SCMCCI referral is confirmed on the township's own .gov site. A listed zoning email address exists on the site but rendered as obfuscated/unreadable text, so left null. Distinct, separate government from the Village of Homer (also Calhoun County) and from the unrelated Homer Township in Midland County.

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 — Homer 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.
