Permits for roofing work in Livonia
Many cities run their own building department, so start by asking the City of Livonia building department who issues roofing permits.
Whether a re-roof needs a permit is decided city by city. Most of the cities whose pages we read ask for one, and Portage does not for a shingle-only replacement, so the building department is the office to ask.
