Additional Notes
Aloha Township's own official website (alohatownship.org) lists only general township services (recycling, trailhead, tax/property information) and does not describe a separate township building department, consistent with building permits being administered county-wide by the Cheboygan County Department of Building Safety (Building Official Matthew J. Cronk, mcronk@cheboygancounty.net). This county-wide delegation is inferred from the absence of any building-permit content on Aloha Township's own site plus the county's building-safety page language ('local units of government, such as city, county, or township'); it was not explicitly confirmed in writing that Aloha specifically delegates to the county, so treat as a reasonably confident but not 100% certain delegation.
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 — Aloha 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.
