Additional Notes
CAUTION - domain collision: a site at evergreen-township.com is the OFFICIAL site of a DIFFERENT Evergreen Township (Montcalm County), not this Sanilac County township; it was not used here. Per sanilaccounty.gov (official), this township has its own Zoning Officer, Aaron Morden, phone (810) 404-0293, office at 5692 Severance Road, Decker, MI 48426; Township Hall is at 5514 Shabbona Road. Structural building permits for Sanilac County townships are generally issued by the county's Construction & Land Use Department (Chief Building Official Eric Bowerman); the county's site does not explicitly list Evergreen Township by name as covered, so this delegation is a reasonable but unconfirmed inference - hedge accordingly. No online permit portal found.
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 — Evergreen 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.
