Additional Notes
WWCA is a regional building authority (in the lower level of Manchester City offices) confirmed via the township's own official site. Building Official: Doug Parr; Executive Assistant: Tammy Koteles. Office hours limited: 8am-1pm Mon/Wed/Fri only, closed Tue/Thu. An online Xpress-pay payment link exists on the page but its exact URL was not captured, so currentDatabaseUrl is left null (hedge). Two township domains were seen (twp-freedom.org and freedomtownshipmi.org); the WWCA page on freedomtownshipmi.org was used as the source.
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 — Freedom 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.
