Licensing and permits in Michigan

Licence required. LARA Bureau of Construction Codes — Residential Builders/Maintenance & Alteration Licensing. Any residential job over $600 legally requires a state Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license — verify it's active on LARA's site before signing a contract.

Residential building permits in Michigan are issued by the local city, township, or county building/inspection department where the property sits; if a municipality doesn't enforce the state code itself, LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes steps in as the permitting authority. In Grand Rapids, permits come from the City of Grand Rapids Development Center (Building Permits).

Tax: Labor is exempt from Michigan sales tax when it is for repair or installation of existing property AND separately itemized from materials on the invoice/billing document; if labor and materials are bundled into one line item, the entire charge becomes taxable at 6%.

Best time to book in Grand Rapids

Bathroom/kitchen renovation season runs spring through summer; book in late fall or winter (Nov–Feb) for shorter lead times and better pricing. Peak demand: March, April, May, June, July and August. Typical job length: 1-4 days per job (single room or wet-area job); larger multi-room floors can run longer.

DIY or pro? A handy homeowner can DIY a small backsplash or single-room floor, but showers/tubs need correct waterproofing (membrane, slope-to-drain) that a pro should handle to avoid costly water damage later.
