Additional Notes

Confirmed on Moore Township's official site (mooremi.gov) that building permits are processed through Sanilac County Construction & Land Use, not the township office directly. Township's own Zoning Administrator is George Lasecki, 1126 West Sanilac, Sandusky, MI 48471, (810) 404-0620 (mooremi.gov) — a separate township zoning/land-use approval may be required alongside the county building permit; unconfirmed whether this is a formal prerequisite. Township Hall: 1536 Main Street, PO Box 123, Snover, MI 48472, (810) 672-9050. County dept phone (810) 648-4664 sourced from a sanilaccounty.gov search snippet, not independently re-verified by direct fetch — treat as a strong lead, not fully confirmed. County dept email exists on the official page but could not be extracted in readable form (page uses obfuscated/JS-rendered email).

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 — Moore 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.
