Additional Notes
Official site is granttwp.com (confirmed distinct from the Clare County Grant Township's grant-township.org, which an earlier search result incorrectly conflated with this township). granttwp.com states the Township Hall has no staffed office and explicitly says not to call the hall number (231-625-2055) to reach board members; no dedicated building/zoning permit contact was found on the township site. Unconfirmed lead (hedge): Cheboygan County's Building Safety Dept (231-627-8813, buildingsafety@cheboygancounty.net, 870 South Main St Room 102, PO Box 70, Cheboygan, MI 49721) and/or the County Planning & Zoning Dept (231-627-8827) may handle permits for Grant Township, since the county's zoning-enforcement exclusion list (City of Cheboygan, Burt Township, Village of Mackinaw City, Village of Wolverine) does not include Grant Township — but no official source explicitly confirms this delegation, so structured fields are left null rather than guessed.
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 — Grant 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.
