Additional Notes
Frankenlust Township administers its own building department directly (contracted individual inspectors, per its official site frankenlust.org) rather than through Bay County. Zoning Administrator Patrick Miller, (989) 439-3976, zoning@frankenlust.com; Building Official Les Luptowski, (989) 239-0360; Electrical Inspector Ken Kaczmarek, (989) 239-6583; Mechanical & Plumbing Inspector Tom Verellen, (989) 246-4817. Inspectors do not hold set office hours and must be contacted directly to schedule. Main township line (989) 686-5300 used as primary phone since it is the general point of contact; permit application forms available under the township site's 'Permits & Forms' tab.
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 — Frankenlust 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.
