Additional Notes
Official self-hosted township site hilltownshiphall.com confirmed, but it displays two different phone numbers in different places (page header: 989-709-0726; page body: 989-728-5131) — flagging this discrepancy rather than picking one, so phone is left null pending direct confirmation. Clerk Lorie Williams (lwilliams.hilltwp@yahoo.com); Supervisor Rob Reid (robreid.hilltwp@yahoo.com). The site explicitly instructs not to mail anything to the Township Hall address (4985 Town Hall Rd, Hale, MI 48739), and officials use individual home addresses for mail, so no reliable certified-mail address block was found — left null. No building-department info is posted on the township site itself; permits are likely handled by the Ogemaw County Building Department (205 S. 8th St., West Branch, MI 48661, 989-345-3370) as with other Ogemaw County townships, though this specific delegation is not explicitly confirmed for Hill Township.
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 — Hill 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.
