Additional Notes

Township's own official site (barodatownship.org) lists Building Official/Inspector Jim Nelson (269-999-0302), Zoning Administrator Ryan Keough (269-999-0213), Electrical Inspector Larry Kuball (269-921-4038), and Mechanical/Plumbing Inspector John Dobberteen (269-625-7648); applications are submitted with payment to the Township Clerk at the address listed. This is a separate, distinct government from the Village of Baroda (same county) despite the shared base name — do not reuse Village contact info here.

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 — Baroda 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.
