Additional Notes
This is a distinct government from the Village of Kewaskum (Fond du Lac/Washington counties) — do not conflate. A separate web search (not independently confirmed on the town's own site) named a building inspector 'Tony Leonard' at (262) 364-9597; this could not be verified directly against townofkewaskumwi.gov content during research, so treat it as an unconfirmed lead rather than a verified fact. The town's Building Code ordinance (Chapter 14) is published at https://cdn.townweb.com/townofkewaskumwi.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Chapter-14-Building-Code.pdf. No dedicated online permit portal found; office is by appointment only.
What You Need Before Applying for a Permit
Most building departments ask for the same core package before they'll issue a permit: a completed application naming the property owner and contractor, the contractor's state license number and proof of insurance (general liability, and workers' comp if employees are on the job), a notice of commencement or equivalent recorded filing for larger jobs where the state requires one, and scaled plans or a site plan for anything beyond minor repairs. Roofing, fence, pool, and solar permits typically have their own simplified checklists — Town of Kewaskum's department (above) can confirm exactly what applies to your project.
Why this matters for insurance: permit history is one of the first things an underwriter or adjuster checks. Unpermitted work — a finished basement, an added bedroom, a rebuilt roof — can complicate a claim or even void coverage for that portion of the loss, and it routinely surfaces during a home inspection. Pulling the right permit up front, and keeping the closed-permit record on file, protects both the property's value and its insurability at resale.
