The Kalamazoo Area Building Authority processes all permit applications and inspections for the participating jurisdictions, allowing contractors to contact one location rather than multiple locations.

Currently, KABA serves three jurisdictions:

  • Comstock Township
  • Kalamazoo Township
  • City of Parchment

The State of Michigan has rescinded the formal interpretation pertaining to permit requirements for Re-Roofing and has remanded the decision to the individual jurisdictions. Due to this, Re-Roof permit requirements in Comstock Township, Kalamazoo Township, and The City of Parchment have been suspended pending further review by the jurisdictions.
