Additional Notes

Village Clerk: Connie Zuiderveen. The village's Ordinance Enforcement Officer position is listed as currently vacant on the official site. Village likely relies on the Osceola County Building Department for construction permits (as most small Osceola County municipalities do) but this delegation was not explicitly confirmed on the village's own site -- flagged as a probable but unconfirmed arrangement. An older (2015) county 'Route Sheet' document named a 'William Kelso' at 133 Sixth St, Marion, MI as a zoning contact for this area, but given its age and inability to verify current accuracy, this is NOT included as a fact and is only noted here as a stale/unconfirmed lead. Osceola County Building Department: 22054 Professional Drive, Suite A, Reed City, MI 49677, 231-832-6117, building@osceolacountymi.gov, portal https://www.bsaonline.com/?uid=2046.

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 Marion'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.
