Additional Notes

Official township site (leetwpcc.com) provided only general township contact info (phone 269-749-9292, fax 269-749-9272, address above, with very limited office hours — Mondays 9:30-11:30am or by appointment); no dedicated building/permit department page, contracted provider, or online portal could be confirmed there. Given the limited office hours, permitting may well be handled by Calhoun County or a contracted inspection agency, but this is unconfirmed — recommend contacting the township directly. This Lee Township (Calhoun County) is a distinct, unrelated government from the Lee Township in Allegan County (#14) and from a third, separately-named Lee Township in Midland County (researched by a different agent in another group).

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.
