Additional Notes
DOMAIN COLLISION: villageofposen.org, which ranks highly for 'Village of Posen' building-permit searches, is the website of the unrelated Village of Posen, ILLINOIS (Cook County) - its 'Building Permits' and 'Building Department' pages list an Illinois address (2440 Walter Zimny Drive, Posen, IL 60469) and a 708 (Chicago-area) phone number, confirmed by direct inspection of multiple pages on that site. Do not use that domain for this Michigan village. No official .gov/.us site for the actual Village of Posen, Michigan (Presque Isle County) could be located. Unconfirmed third-party leads, hedged per policy: Yellowpages/Buzzfile list a 'Village of Posen Hall' at 7091 E State St, Posen, MI 49776, phone (989) 766-2134, but this is not verified against an official source. Presque Isle County's Building & Zoning Department (pibuild@picounty.org, 989-734-2915) may be the relevant contact if the village does not run its own permitting, but this delegation is unconfirmed.
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 Posen'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.
