Additional Notes
This is Nottawa Township in Isabella County (official township site nottawatwpisabellami.gov), which is unrelated to a different, same-named Nottawa Township in St. Joseph County (whose official-looking site, nottawatownship.org, is based in Centreville, MI and was deliberately NOT used here to avoid a domain/name collision). Isabella County's official Building Department page confirms its jurisdiction explicitly includes Nottawa Township (along with Broomfield, Chippewa, Coe, Coldwater, Gilmore, Isabella, and Lincoln townships); Building Official Steve Krotzer, direct phone (989) 317-4066, email skrotzer@isabellacounty.org, county dept main phone (989) 317-4061. Township contact (phone (989) 644-1000, address 3024 W. Weidman Rd., Weidman, MI 48893) is the township hall itself, which did not have building-permit-specific content on its own site.
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 — Nottawa 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.
