Additional Notes
Alcona County Building Division enforces building/mechanical/electrical/plumbing codes countywide; Gustin Township has its own zoning ordinance and a separate Zoning Administrator, reported via search (not an official-source confirmation) as Adam Brege, (989) 590-2137, 155 Sunday Drive, Lincoln, MI 48742 -- included as a hedge. Township's own site (gustintwp.gov, formerly gustintwp.com) lists Treasurer PO Box 52 and Clerk PO Box 25, both Lincoln, MI 48742, but did not itself state which body issues building permits.
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 — Gustin 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.
