Which codes and exemptions should I review?
CCA administers Michigan construction-code inspections for participating Lapeer County municipalities under an interlocal governmental arrangement. Current Michigan codes include the 2021 Michigan Building Code and 2021 Michigan Rehabilitation Code (effective April 9, 2025), 2015 Michigan Residential Code, 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). CCA's jurisdiction list identifies participating cities, villages, and townships and notes local exceptions for some permits. Michigan ordinary repairs may be performed without a building permit when they do not cut walls or structural supports, change required egress, or affect regulated plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or other public-safety systems. The building official may waive construction documents when code compliance is clear. Confirm project-specific exemptions with CCA because zoning and trade-permit requirements can still apply.
