Additional Notes
Confirmed via official township site hillmantownship.com (Hillman Community Center, 24220 Veterans Memorial Hwy, Hillman, MI 49746) and Montmorency County's official site. Building permits are handled by the Montmorency County Building Department (989-785-8006; Building Inspector Tony Dawson 989-739-3809) after township zoning approval; a county-hosted document names 'Chuck Schaudt' (989-255-4016) as the Hillman Township zoning contact — this individual attribution is unconfirmed independently of that one county PDF. This is a distinct government from the Village of Hillman (both in Montmorency County) — kept separate per instructions.
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 — Hillman 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.
