Additional Notes
Hazelton Township now has its own planning commission and zoning ordinance (no longer under county zoning jurisdiction per the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act), but building/construction-code permitting appears to remain at the county level via Shiawassee County Community Development, per the county's own site (shiawassee.net). Explicit confirmation that Hazelton specifically (as opposed to having its own building department) is covered was not found -- the county page references a '2025 Jurisdiction List' document that would confirm this but was not accessible; treat as a probable, not fully confirmed, delegation. Could not locate a dedicated official Hazelton Township website; a supervisor (James Sheridan) and clerk (Kerry Kruske) were reported only via third-party listings (not an official source) and should be independently verified before use.
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 — Hazelton 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.
