Additional Notes

No dedicated building/permit department page or contact was found on the village's official site; the site's Documents section lists a 'Permits and Forms' category with a few documents but no department contact details. Applicants are reportedly directed to visit the Village Office in person for permit applications (per general web guidance, not a direct quote from the official site) — unconfirmed, treat as a hedge. Note: Lennon straddles the Genesee/Shiawassee county line (part of Clayton Township, Genesee Co. and part of Venice Township, Shiawassee Co.); this entry is filed under Genesee County per the assignment. No online permit portal identified.

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 Lennon'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.
