Additional Notes
No official Village of Montgomery, MI website (.gov/.us or otherwise verified as the village's own site) could be located; searches only turned up a village code chapter hosted on ecode360.com (a third-party codification platform, not usable as a fact source) and a Facebook page. Two UNCONFIRMED hedged leads worth noting for follow-up: (1) the village's own municipal code (per ecode360) creates an 'Office of Building Inspector' that issues permits locally, suggesting the village may self-administer; (2) alternatively, Hillsdale County's Building Inspection Department (official site hillsdalecounty.gov, phone 517-437-4130, 33 McCollum St, Room 102, Hillsdale, MI 49242) may cover unincorporated/small-village areas countywide, though the county page does not name Montgomery specifically. A 2021-2022 Hillsdale County directory PDF (hillsdalecounty.gov) lists a phone number of 296-4267 for Montgomery, but this could not be independently verified as current or specifically for building permits, and the source PDF's text could not be reliably extracted in this pass — flagged as unconfirmed rather than entered as fact. Village President reportedly Richard Beem (per third-party source, unconfirmed).
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 Montgomery'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.
