Additional Notes
Easton Township's own official site (eastontownship.org) has no dedicated building/zoning/permits page in its navigation (only a 'Burn Permits' page plus various ordinances) and its TLS certificate does not match its own hostname, so content had to be fetched with certificate verification bypassed — treat that source as lower-confidence. Ionia County's Building Department page states it enforces state construction codes countywide with the City of Portland as a named exception (and City of Ionia now under county administration since 2010); Easton Township itself is not explicitly named as served, so its coverage by the county is a reasonable but UNCONFIRMED inference, included per instructions to disclose uncertain data rather than omit it.

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 — Easton 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.
