Additional Notes

Confirmed via official villageoffairgrove.org: Clerk's office hours Mondays 7:00 AM-2:00 PM (excluding federal holidays); village ordinances (e.g. Ordinance No. 69B on pools, Ordinance No. 62 on rental/landlord) reference compliance with 'the building code' for new construction/pools. No dedicated village building department page was found; it is plausible the Village, like nearby Fairgrove Township, relies on the Tuscola County building department (operated by SAFEbuilt: 989-262-4546, tuscolapermits@safebuilt.com, 141 S. Almer St., Caro, MI 48723, per tuscolacounty.org) but this delegation for the Village specifically was not confirmed on an official source - included here only as a hedge/lead, not in the structured permit-department fields. Do not confuse with the separate, unrelated Fairgrove Township government (next entry).

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 — Village of Fairgrove'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.
