Additional Notes
Argyle Township's own page on the Sanilac County site (sanilaccounty.gov/townships/argyle.php) lists township officials (Supervisor Jeromie Foote, 4604 Ubly Road, Snover, MI 48472, (810) 672-9278; Clerk Jennifer Grifka, (810) 837-0998) but does not itself explicitly confirm building-permit delegation to the county. Third-party sources describe a mandatory Building Permit process through the Sanilac County Department of Construction, consistent with the county's own Construction and Land Use Department page; this is treated as a strong, county-standard delegation but the township-specific confirmation is a hedge.
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 — Argyle 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.
