Additional Notes

This is Lake Township in Menominee County — distinct from the other five unrelated 'Lake Township' governments and from Lake Charter Township. Lake Township requires its own zoning approval before a Menominee County building permit is issued; the township's Zoning Administrator is Wally Majkrzak, phone 906-753-9989, N8109 County Road 577, Stephenson, MI 49887 (per the county's official municipalities page, menomineecountymi.gov). County building permit phone (906) 863-2656 is the general county building department number found via search; not independently re-confirmed on the county's own building-codes page in this session, so treated as a probable but slightly less certain figure — flagged here as a hedge.

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 — Lake 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.
