Additional Notes

Township's own site confirms building permits are handled directly (Building Inspector Scott Saunders, cell 269-999-6475, office ext 6) with a BS&A Online portal reachable via the site's 'Payments' link; the bsaonline.com uid=1009 URL was located via search results titled 'Home | Silver Creek Township | BS&A Online' rather than clicked through directly on the township site itself, so treat as a strong but not fully hands-on-confirmed lead.

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 — Silver Creek 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.
