Additional Notes
Livingston County's official site (milivcounty.gov) confirms the county Building Department handles building permits/inspections for Fowlerville (main line 517-546-3240; automated inspection request line 517-546-3830). The certHolderLine2/3 address (304 E. Grand River Ave., Howell, MI 48843) is the county's general courthouse-area address commonly used for this department and was not independently re-verified on the specific building-department page fetched in this session -- treat as a light hedge. Village of Fowlerville's own office: 213 South Grand Avenue, Fowlerville, MI 48836; phone 517-223-3771; fax 517-223-7435 (per fowlerville.org), which maintains its own permit-application forms/document center but directs actual permit issuance to the county.
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 — Village of Fowlerville'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.
