Additional Notes
Confirmed delegation to Oscoda County Building Department via the county's own official site, which also lists Lori Lewis as Comins Township Supervisor/Zoning Official at (989) 848-5811 (zoning permits are obtained at the township office, per the same county page). Unconfirmed lead: the township appears to have its own site at cominstwp.com (address possibly 2090 E Miller Rd / PO Box 190, Fairview, MI 48621) but its SSL certificate is expired, so content could not be verified directly - included here only as a hedge, not as a confirmed source.
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 — Comins 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.
