Additional Notes
Jordan Township is one of eight Antrim County townships with no zoning ordinance, per antrimcountymi.gov and Networks Northwest permitting guides; the Antrim County Construction Code Department (Bud Randall, Inspector) handles all trade permits countywide. A State/DEQ permit is also referenced as required for building within 500 feet of the Jordan River. The BS&A Online link is the county's general online-permit portal (uid inferred from a permit-application deep link found via search); worth spot-checking that it resolves to Antrim County's portal specifically.
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 — Jordan 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.
