Additional Notes

Confirmed on the Township's official site (mtmorristwp.org). Building Official/Inspector is John Woodell; permits issued/inspected under the 2015 Michigan Residential Code, 2015 Michigan Building Code, and 2018 Rehabilitation Code. Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing inspections are handled by state inspectors per the site. This is a distinct, separate government from the City of Mount Morris above, which has its own building department at a different address (both in Genesee County).

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 — Mount Morris Charter 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.
