Additional Notes
Township address/phone above is Hamlin Township's own office (hamlintownship.org), confirmed as Mason County. Mason County Building Department (located at the Mason County Airport building) handles electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits per search results; phone (231) 757-9345 for permit fee info. Township has a Zoning/Short-Term-Rental page and an Interim Zoning Administrator (Scott Sheehan) for land-use permits and site plan reviews, but no direct email/phone for that role was confirmed on the official site.
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 — Hamlin 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.
