As a homeowner, may I apply for a building permit?
Yes. However, the permit holder is responsible for the work to be constructed in compliance to the codes and a Homeowner’s Affidavit must be signed. If a State of Michigan licensed builder is hired by the homeowner to supervise the work, then we strongly recommend the permit be issued to the licensed builder. You may apply for a Building Permit at the Building Department.
