Additional Notes
No dedicated building-permit page, phone, or email was found on the village's own site; contact given is the general Village Clerk/village email. The Wexford County Building Department (401 N. Lake St., Cadillac, MI 49601, (231) 779-9465) states it covers 'most of Wexford County' with a few named exceptions (Cedar Creek Township, City of Manton, City of Cadillac) that do not include Buckley - suggesting Wexford County likely issues Buckley's building permits, but this was not explicitly confirmed for Buckley by name on an official source and is flagged as an unconfirmed lead. An alternate/older contact, Village President Dennis Kuhn Sr., (231) 631-1011, also appears in search results.
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 Buckley'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.
