Additional Notes
Village's official site lists a Planning & Zoning Administrator (named as Doug Powers, powersd@villageofmiddleville.org, per a third-party Barry County housing document — this email was not independently confirmed on the village's own site, hedge) and offers a BS&A Online portal for records/payments. Barry County directs building/electrical/plumbing/mechanical permit applicants countywide to Professional Code Inspection (PCI) at 269-948-4088; it is not confirmed on an official source whether PCI specifically covers the Village of Middleville or only unincorporated county areas — hedge.
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 Middleville'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.
