Additional Notes
Per the township's own official site, zoning approval (Zoning Administrator Mike Simula, 906-371-0048, spurrzoning@gmail.com) is required before a building permit; the site says building-permit applications are available at the township office and will be downloadable online 'soon'. It is unconfirmed on an official source whether the actual building/electrical/mechanical/plumbing permit itself is issued by the township, by Baraga County, or by the State of Michigan (LARA) — neighboring Baraga Township in the same county uses State of Michigan permit division as of July 2023 per its official site, so a similar state-issued arrangement for Spurr Township is a plausible but unconfirmed hedge.
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 — Spurr 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.
