Frequently Asked Questions

Although we do not give out Contractor recommendations, we do believe it is very important to check:

• Does the contractor have a valid license?
• Can they provide recent references?
• Does this Contractor have expired permits on file with the City of Grand Ledge?
• Does the Contractor provide a warranty?
• Have all inspections been performed on the project?

Yes. If you are not already registered with Eaton County BSA Online, you will need to do so and receive a PIN to pull permits online. Click here for registration forms and questions.

For permits issued by the City of Grand Ledge/DeWitt Township, the DeWitt Township building department will perform the inspections.  Please schedule those inspections as you have done previously by calling the inspection line at 517-277-0700.

Inspections that are not called for or completed by May 30, 2025 may be assigned to Eaton County Construction Codes or the permits closed out. 

Permits that are closed out, that need additional inspections, will be required to make a new permit application and pay all permit and inspection fees.  To avoid any additional permit or inspection fees, schedule your inspection(s).

Yes. Whatever requirements and guidelines Eaton County has in place for building and trades permitting is what the City of Grand Ledge adheres to.

For example, non-structural reroofing, siding, and window replacement do not require a permit in Eaton County. As such, those types of permits are not required in the City.
