Additional Notes
This is the large Macomb County charter township (~100k population), confirmed via its own official site (clintontownship.com, 586 area code, Romeo Plank Rd address) — distinct from Clinton Township in Lenawee County and Clinton Township in Oscoda County. No online permit-search/application portal was confirmed; the site offers downloadable permit application PDFs (building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, sign, reroof) plus online inspection-request and complaint forms, and an interactive zoning map.
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 — Clinton Charter 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.
