Additional Notes
Could not confirm the building-permit enforcing agency for this small (pop. ~406) Ontonagon County township on any official source. No county-wide Ontonagon building department was found; Michigan's Statewide Construction Code Jurisdiction List (referenced via michigan.gov/lara) determines whether the State Bureau of Construction Codes, the county, or the township itself enforces the code, and this could not be verified within available official sources — by analogy with other small Ontonagon County townships (e.g., Bergland Township, which has its own building inspector), it is possible either the State BCC or a locally appointed inspector applies, but this is unconfirmed. Contact info above is for the township generally: Supervisor Dan Staff Sr., Clerk Kay S. Richter, Treasurer Jacqueline Pintar, phone 906-988-2240, mailing address also listed elsewhere as 202 Cedar Street, Ewen, MI 49925 (clerk's address) vs. P.O. Box 267 (township mailing address) — both appear in different official-adjacent listings; verify which is current. This is a different, unrelated township from McMillan Township in Luce County (#8) despite the identical name.
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 — McMillan 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.
