Additional Notes
Springfield Township's own official site (springfieldtownship-kalkaskacounty.org) lists supervisor/clerk contacts but no dedicated building-permit page found. Kalkaska County's own Construction Codes Department page does not explicitly list which of the county's 7 townships it serves, but Kalkaska County government pages describe the county department as handling construction codes/permits and zoning oversight for the townships; treat the county department as the likely permit issuer for this township, unhedged confirmation not found on an official source. Phone shown is the department's listed number with ext. 1 for direct line.
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 — Springfield 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.
