Additional Notes
Sourced from the official 2025-2026 Barry County Directory (barrycounty.org, county-published document). Supervisor: Jeff Butler (517-937-0286); Clerk: Holly Carpenter (holly.carpenter@yahoo.com, 517-490-9510) -- note the clerk's email is a personal Yahoo address as published by the county, not a township domain. No dedicated township building official is listed in the county directory. Building/zoning permitting for Barry County townships is commonly routed through Barry County Planning & Zoning (220 W State St, Hastings, MI 49058, 269-945-1290, jkeesler@barrycounty.org) and/or Professional Code Inspections of Michigan, Inc. (PCI) (110 W Center St Ste A, Hastings, MI 49058, 269-948-4088), which the county directory lists as an area building/electrical/mechanical/plumbing code inspection provider -- this specific delegation for Maple Grove Township (Barry County) is a hedge, not explicitly confirmed. Burn permits for this township go through Nashville Fire, 269-832-9661. A BS&A Online page exists under the name 'Maple Grove Township' (bsaonline.com/?uid=923) but states the township does not currently subscribe to any BS&A Online services and does not confirm which county it belongs to, so it was not used as a database entry here. Do not confuse with the separate, unrelated Maple Grove Townships in Manistee and Saginaw Counties (see other entries).
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 — Maple Grove 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.
