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