Additional Notes
Township's own official site (homertownship.org) states the Township Code Authority provides plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and building inspections for Midland County municipalities including Homer Township; a zoning permit must be obtained before the building permit. Address given is the TCA office location as stated on the township site (also separately described elsewhere as housed in the Midland County Services Building, 220 W Ellsworth Street, Midland, MI 48640 - both addresses appeared in different sources, so treat the exact TCA street address with light hedge). Distinct, separate government from the unrelated Homer Township in Calhoun 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 — Homer 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.
