Additional Notes

IMPORTANT domain/name collision note: this is a DIFFERENT Park Township from the Ottawa County one (which uses the similarly-named domain parktownship.org). This St. Joseph County Park Township's official site is park-township.org (hyphenated). Confirmed via its own Contacts page: Building Official Joe Wickey (269-816-4951, jwickey00@gmail.com), Zoning Administrator Matt Jorgensen (269-386-1110, swmizoning@gmail.com), Code Enforcement Mike Haydon (269-435-8505). Permit forms/ordinances are posted via a linked Google Drive folder rather than a structured online database, so no currentDatabaseUrl could be confirmed. Personal-looking emails (gmail.com) are as published on the township's own official site.

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 — Park 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.
