Additional Notes
This is Au Sable Charter Township in Iosco County (near Oscoda) - a different, unrelated government from 'Au Sable Township' in Roscommon County (see separate entry) despite the very similar name. The township's own Forms & Permits page lists numerous zoning/site-plan/accessory-building permit types administered directly by the township (Superintendent/Zoning Administrator Eric Strayer, superintendent@ausabletownship.net per township staff listing - email not independently verified on the .gov domain itself, so left null as a hedge). It is unconfirmed whether structural building-code permits (electrical/mechanical/plumbing/building) are issued by the township or routed to the Iosco County Building Department (420 W. Lake Street, Tawas City, MI 48763; phone 989-362-6511; email ioscobuilding@ioscocounty.org) - the county page does not list its served townships, so this delegation is a hedge, not confirmed.
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 — Au Sable 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.
