Additional Notes
Novi Township is a very small remnant township (2020 population ~160, roughly 0.11 sq mi of unincorporated land) that, per Wikipedia (not an official source), has no township hall — board meetings are reportedly held at officials' homes, and many services (e.g., fire, library) are contracted from the City of Novi. Third-party/candidate directories (Ballotpedia, League of Women Voters) name Supervisor Anthony 'Tony' Galdikas (~(248) 210-3406, residential address in Northville) and a Clerk's office line (~248-231-6210), but none of this is confirmed on a .gov/.us source. No official source could be found confirming who issues building permits for Novi Township parcels — it may default to the City of Novi's Community Development Department or be handled ad hoc by township officials, but this is unconfirmed. Do not publish contact details for this entry without a direct verification call to Oakland County or the township supervisor.
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 — Novi 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.
