Additional Notes
Confirmed via the township's own official site (freesoiltownship.org): Zoning Administrator/Enforcer Adam Kozicki, reachable at 231-464-5424 / adamkozicki@hotmail.com (a personal-looking email address, but it is what the official township site itself lists). Township Hall drop box: 2691 E Michigan Street, Free Soil, MI 49411 (no mail receptacle); Supervisor mailing address 3289 E Free Soil Road; Clerk mailing address PO Box 148. Actual building/electrical/mechanical/plumbing permits (as opposed to zoning/land-use approval) are reportedly issued through the Mason County Building Department (231-757-9345, located at the Mason County Airport) per a secondary/county-level lead - this delegation was not independently confirmed via a direct official Mason County page fetch in this research session, so treat as a hedged lead. This is a distinct government from the Village of Free Soil above - do not merge.
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 — Free Soil 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.
