Additional Notes
This is the CITY of Beaverton (distinct, separate government from Beaverton Township, both in Gladwin County -- confirm not to conflate). The city's own Zoning Administrator/City Manager (Shannon Sirpilla, (989) 435-3511, ssirpilla@beavertonmi.org, City Hall at 124 W. Brown St, Beaverton, MI 48612) handles zoning permits directly, but building/electrical/mechanical/plumbing permits are issued by Gladwin County Construction Codes Dept per Michigan LARA's Statewide Jurisdiction List (effective 02/02/09). The email field above is for the city's own zoning contact since a direct county staff email was not confirmed.
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 — City of Beaverton'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.
