Additional Notes
Per Luce County's own official Building Department page (lucecountymi.com/building-department), Luce County does not run its own local building department; building permit applications must be submitted directly to the State of Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes (michigan.gov/bcc), with inspections performed by state UP inspector Daniel Grochowski (906-235-2592, GrochowskiD@michigan.gov). This is presented as county-wide guidance and not confirmed as specific to McMillan Township, but McMillan is the largest township in Luce County and no separate township-level building department was found, so the state BCC pathway is the most likely enforcing agency — hedge accordingly and verify against Michigan's Statewide Construction Code Jurisdiction List before publishing. McMillan Township's own office phone/address above is for general township business (Supervisor Dan Staff Sr., Clerk Kay Richter, Treasurer Jacqueline Pintar), not a confirmed building-permit contact. This is a different, unrelated township from McMillan Township in Ontonagon County (#9) despite the identical name.
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 — McMillan 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.
