Additional Notes

Confirmed via sanilaccounty.gov (official county .gov site) Township directory page: Supervisor/Assessor Douglas J. Neumayer, 916 W. Shabbona Road, Snover, MI 48472, (810) 404-8648; Clerk Scott Cameron, 3136 Berkshire Road, Deckerville, MI 48427, (810) 366-0513; Treasurer Susan E. Nichol, 323 E. Downington Road, Sandusky, MI 48471, (810) 376-8201; Township Hall listed at 4493 Chevington Road. That page does not mention building permits. Building permits for Sanilac County (including its townships) are handled by the Sanilac County Department of Construction and Land Use, 60 West Sanilac, Room 210, Sandusky, MI 48471, (810) 648-4664 (per sanilaccounty.gov), which is a plausible fit for this township but was not explicitly confirmed to name Wheatland Township, so it is described here rather than placed in the structured permit-department fields. Note: a search result also (likely erroneously) claimed this township 'contracted with Hillsdale County' for building inspection - that appears to be a mix-up with the unrelated Hillsdale County Wheatland Township and should not be trusted.

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 — Wheatland 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.
