Additional Notes
Clinton-county.org's Building Department page describes serving '13 General Law Townships and the cities/villages within them,' and the village of Eagle sits within Eagle Township, Clinton County. No independent official Village of Eagle website could be located (searched variations; only Eagle Township's eagletownshipmi.gov and out-of-state 'Village of Eagle' sites in Wisconsin/Indiana turned up) — this is a hedge, not a confirmed dedicated village permitting office. Treat the Village of Eagle as very likely served by the Clinton County Building Department, but the village's own contact info, if any exists separately, is unconfirmed. Online BS&A permits limited to roofing/siding/window-door(3+) projects.
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 Eagle'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.
