155, Construction Codes, to obtain a building, electrical, mechanical, or plumbing permit from the Township prior to performing services therein.
No contractor shall perform services within or on any building,
structure, or property within the Township unless such contractor
is lawfully licensed to perform such services by the State of Michigan
or a local unit of government of the State of Michigan duly authorized
to issue such license.
No contractor shall perform services within or on any building,
structure, or property within the Township without first registering
with and obtaining a certificate of registration from the Township

Every contractor shall complete and file a registration form with the Township prior to performing services in the Township. Registration forms shall be available at the Township office during normal business hours and shall require the complete name, street address and telephone number of the contractor. At the time of registration, every contractor shall furnish the Township a copy of its license as described in §
163-4 of this chapter.
Every contractor shall pay a registration fee set by the Township
Board by resolution to the Township at the time of registration.
Upon completion of the registration procedure as set forth in
this chapter, the Township shall issue a certificate of registration
to the contractor authorizing the contractor to perform services within
or on any building, structure or property within the Township.
A certificate of registration issued pursuant to this chapter
shall be effective until the end of the calendar year in which it
is issued. Every contractor shall obtain a new certificate of registration
in accordance with this chapter at the beginning of each calendar
year.
