Additional Notes
Confirmed via Brady Charter Township's own official site (bradytwp.org/building-dept/): 'For any building questions please contact our building department, SCMCCI at 888-249-7077,' with permits obtainable via scmcci.org. Township hall itself (13123 S. 24th Street, Vicksburg, MI 49097, 269-649-1813) handles zoning separately (bradyzoning@bradytwp.org, 269-649-1813, per bradytwp.org/building-dept/), distinct from the SCMCCI-run construction-code building department. SCMCCI's own address/phone (113 S. Capitol Ave, Athens, MI) is drawn from third-party business listings, not from an official .gov/.us page, so treat that address as a reasonably confident but not fully verified lead; the phone number itself does match what the township's own site lists. This is a different Brady Township than #7 (Saginaw County) -- unrelated, confirmed separately.
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 — Brady Charter 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.
