Additional Notes
This is the Antrim County 'Custer Township' — unrelated to the Custer Township entries in Mason and Sanilac counties, and only shares a county with no other jurisdiction in this list. Antrim County has no county-wide zoning ordinance and Custer Township is not among the townships with its own zoning administrator, per the county site. Building permits are handled by the Antrim County Construction Code Dept (Inspector Bud Randall, available 8:00-9:30am weekdays); the BS&A Online portal is mentioned for trade permits but its exact URL was not confirmed.
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 — Custer 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.
