Additional Notes

Village's official site (centrevillemi.com) does not name a dedicated building/permit department, email, or online portal; general Village Office number provided above should be used to inquire about permits and applications. Caution: a similarly-named domain, cityofcentreville.com, is for Centreville, Alabama and is NOT related to this Michigan village -- do not use it as a source. Not confirmed whether building-code permits are issued by the village directly, delegated to St. Joseph County, or handled by the State of Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes.

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 Centreville'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.
