Additional Notes
This is New Haven Township in Gratiot County, MI — unrelated to the separately-researched Village of New Haven (Macomb County) or New Haven Township (Shiawassee County). No independent official website for this New Haven Township was located; Gratiot County's own official Community Development and building-permit-requirements pages were fetched directly and confirmed the county issues building/zoning/SESC permits generally for county-zoned townships, but did not explicitly enumerate New Haven Township by name in an official source — this delegation is a plausible but not fully confirmed lead. As with all Gratiot County townships, a township zoning approval/permit is required before the county will issue the building permit, so contacting the township office directly is also recommended before relying solely on the county number.
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 — New Haven 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.
