Additional Notes

Township's own site (schoolcrafttownshipmi.gov) points to South Central Michigan Construction Code Inspections (scmcci.org) for building code administration/inspections — a shared third-party inspection agency, not a .gov/.us site itself, so treat that specific delegation as a hedge even though it is referenced from the township's own official page. Email listed is the Township Supervisor's (Donald K. Ulsh) official-domain address, not a dedicated permit-office email. This is a SEPARATE government from the Village of Schoolcraft (also Kalamazoo Co.) and from Schoolcraft Township in Houghton County — do not confuse any of the three.

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 — Schoolcraft 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.
