I am a subcontractor that has provided labor, equipment and materials for a vendor on a jobsite the vendor was working . I have asked for the NOC and have not received one.
In Michigan, there's a terrific website hosted by a company called BS&A that lets you find the legal description of a property and current owner. You just need to know the municipality in which the property is located and the street address. Some municipalities also let you search by owner name.

Most municipalities provide this information at no cost. Some request payment of a small fee ($2) to access the information about a property.
Note: The mailing address for a property can be a little misleading. For instance, a property in Northville, Michigan, might reallly be in Northville Township, not the City of Northville. Likewise, a Bloomfield Hills mailing address might really be for a Bloomfield Township property. If you get stuck, call the local municipality ask for the Assessors Office. Give them the address and they'll confirm whether that property is in their jurisdiction or not. If you ask nicely, the Assessor may also send you the legal description, parcel number and owner name, which will save you searching BS&A.
