Additional Notes

Confirmed via the official michigantownshipservices.org site, which lists Lee Township (Allegan County) among the townships it provides zoning administration, construction code inspection, and permit administration services for. This Lee Township (Allegan County) is a distinct, unrelated government from the Lee Township in Calhoun County (#15) and from a third, separately-named Lee Township in Midland County (researched by a different agent in another group) — do not confuse the three. Township office itself (unconfirmed, third-party sourced): 877-56th Street, Pullman, MI 49450, phone 269-236-6485.

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 — Lee 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.
