Additional Notes
Mikado Township's own site (mikadotwp.com) does not publish specific building-permit contact information; Township Treasurer Anne Harmon (989-736-7721, per a third-party lead, unconfirmed on an official page) may direct residents further. Mikado Township's own zoning ordinance document states that building permits are 'written authority issued by the Alcona County Building Inspector,' supporting delegation to the county Building Department, but the county department's own page does not explicitly list Mikado Township among the areas it serves — hedge. Online payment portal available at allpaid.com (not a full permit-application/search database, so not listed as currentDatabaseUrl).
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 — Mikado 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.
