Additional Notes
Champion Township's official website is hosted on Google Sites (sites.google.com/r-mschool.org/championmichigan) rather than its own domain; content and contact info (address, phone, email) matches the known township location, so it is treated as the township's legitimate official site, but this is a hedge since Google Sites is not a .gov/.us domain. Marquette County's Zoning Administrators listing and Building Codes department (906-225-8180/8181) appear to serve county townships including Champion Township for building permits via the govpros.us online portal, but this specific township-to-county delegation was not explicitly stated in those words on an official source -- flagged as an unconfirmed lead rather than omitted.
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 — Champion 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.
