Additional Notes

Confirmed on the official Mecosta County site (mecostacounty.org): the county Building & Zoning Department (Director Annette Coles) is authorized by the State of Michigan and Mecosta County to enforce building/zoning codes, and explicitly lists Sheridan Township among townships it covers (zoning maps by township). The township's own site (sheridantownship.com, Township Hall at 15020 30th Ave, Remus, MI 49340, phone 989-382-7007 per third-party listings - not independently confirmed on the township's own JS-rendered site) did not yield building-permit-specific contact text distinct from the county page. Do not confuse with the Calhoun County Sheridan Township, whose contact info (13355 29 Mile Rd, Albion / zoning.sheridan.twp@gmail.com) is unrelated and was NOT reused here despite some search-engine cross-contamination between these two townships' near-identical-looking official sites.

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 — Sheridan 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.
