Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
Ask the agency for its current review estimate
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.
Application documents
Before submission, call (989) 269-9269 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.

Michigan statewide construction codes administered by the county: 2021 Michigan Building Code (effective April 9, 2025); 2015 Michigan Residential Code (effective February 8, 2016); 2021 Michigan Rehabilitation Code (effective April 9, 2025); 2021 Michigan Mechanical and Plumbing Codes (effective March 12, 2024); 2021 Michigan Commercial Energy Code (effective April 22, 2025); and 2023 Michigan Electrical Code/NEC (effective March 12, 2024). Ordinary repairs may be exempt when they do not affect structural members, required egress, or regulated plumbing, electrical, mechanical, public-health, or general-safety systems; confirm with the county inspector. Qualifying agricultural structures may have statutory exemptions. Most new construction, alterations, additions, and trade work require permits before work begins. Caseville City, Caseville Township, and Lake Township have local building jurisdiction for some or all trades as shown in the state jurisdiction list.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
