Additional Notes
Aurelius Township appears to administer its own building/electrical/mechanical/plumbing/accessory-building/deck/pole-barn permits directly (forms available on the township's own site, aureliustwp.org), rather than delegating to Ingham County. No dedicated department email address was found on an official source; general inquiries likely route through the Township Hall main line. Applicants may separately need a Soil Erosion Permit from the Ingham County Drain Commission (707 Buhl St, Mason, MI 48854, 517-676-8395), which is a distinct county function, not the building permit itself.
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 — Aurelius 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.
