Additional Notes
Officially 'Charter Township of Midland'; official site is midlandtownship.net. Building Inspector: Gary Shaffner; Electrical: Brian McDonald; Mechanical/Plumbing: Greg Younk — all reached via the township hall number; permit applications are started at the township hall (contact Heidi Tryban) and forwarded to the relevant inspector. Confirmed NOT served by the Township Code Authority, a shared inspection provider for several other Midland County townships (Edenville, Geneva, Greendale, Homer, Hope, Jasper, Larkin, Lee, Warren, Mills, plus the cities/villages of Auburn, Coleman, and Merrill) per townshipcodeauthority.com, which explicitly omits Midland Charter Township from its service list. The email address above was found via a search-result snippet referencing the township site rather than confirmed by direct page content — hedge. Distinct, separate government from the City of Midland — do not merge records.
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 — Midland Charter 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.
