Additional Notes
Confirmed via official villageoflincoln.com 'Your Board' page: Zoning Administrator John Moran, (248) 410-1575. The village's dedicated Zoning page states 'Information Coming Soon,' so it is UNCONFIRMED whether building permits (as opposed to zoning approval) are issued by the village itself or routed to the Alcona County Building Department, 216 W. Main Street, Harrisville, MI 48740, (989) 724-9440, https://alconacountymi.com/building-department/ (fax 989-724-9449) -- flagged as a hedge/lead rather than a confirmed fact. Other village officials: President Sheila Phillips, villageoflincolnpres@gmail.com, (989) 335-0012; Clerk Linda Somers, villageoflincolnclerk@gmail.com, (989) 736-6522. This is one of eight separate, unrelated 'Lincoln'-named Michigan local governments researched in this batch -- do not confuse with the Lincoln Townships in other counties below.
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 — Village of Lincoln'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.
