Additional Notes

Lenawee County's own official site (lenawee.mi.us/919/Permits) states the county does not directly issue building/zoning permits and directs residents to contact their municipality. Medina Township has its own official site at medinatownshipmi.gov with 'Forms' and 'Zoning' pages referencing building permit forms and a fee schedule, indicating the township likely handles its own permitting, but this research pass could not confirm a specific phone number, email, or mailing address for the building/zoning contact on that site — left null rather than guessed. UNCONFIRMED lead only, not fabricated into structured fields.

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 — Medina 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.
