Additional Notes
Township's official site (caledoniatwp.net) has no dedicated building/permit department page; lists only Supervisor Cyndi Apsey and township clerk contact. Alcona County Building Department (216 W. Main St, Harrisville, MI 48740; 989-724-9440; alconacountymi.com/building-department/) very likely handles construction permitting for county townships generally, but the county page does not explicitly name Caledonia Township as covered, so this delegation is an unconfirmed-but-likely lead, not a confirmed fact. This is a separate, unrelated government from items 8 (Village of Caledonia, Kent Co.), 9 (Caledonia Charter Twp, Kent Co.), and 10 (Caledonia Charter Twp, Shiawassee Co.).
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 — Caledonia 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.
