Additional Notes
Mitchell Township does not appear to run its own building department; Alcona County is a small, largely rural county and its Building Department (216 W. Main St, Harrisville, phone confirmed on alconacountymi.com/building-department/) describes itself as handling construction-project safety countywide. However, no official source explicitly names Mitchell Township as covered, so this county-delegation is a reasonably confident but UNCONFIRMED inference, not a directly cited fact. Mitchell Township's own official site (mitchelltownship.org) could not be verified (SSL certificate expired on repeated fetch attempts); township hall is reportedly at 6849 W. Tower Road, Curran, MI 48728, phone (989) 848-5692, per third-party sources only — unconfirmed on an official source, included here as a hedged lead.
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 — Mitchell 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.
