I built a garage six years ago, and under code here in MI everything had to be protected by GFCI, including inside outlets, outside outlets, the dedicated air compressor circuit, and the door openers. The only exception was the lighting circuits.
Pretty sure that was just your local inspector and not MI code. I've dealt with them before and you'll get different answers from different inspectors. You need to ask them to see the code. MI pretty much follows NEC, of course your local community may have different codes. GFCIs are not required where I live, Livingston County.
