Additional Notes
WI DSPS delegated-municipality list (line 97) lists the City of Menasha under DOA code 70251, 'In Multiple Counties' — consistent with the real-world fact that Menasha straddles Calumet and Winnebago Counties, though this directory records it under Calumet per the project's assigned pairing. Per DSPS: municipal contact is Andrew Dane, Community Development Director (920-967-3651, adane@menashawi.gov); UDC inspector listed is Alison Humski (920-967-3655, ahumski@menashawi.gov). The city's Building Inspection dept. can also be reached by emailing bldinsp@ci.menasha.wi.us for document submission (digital plan sets required for new 1-/2-family and major commercial/multi-family/industrial projects); commercial permit applications go to jdrager@menashawi.gov. Office: 100 Main St., Suite 200, Menasha, WI 54952. Verify this is the correct City of Menasha (Calumet/Winnebago) and NOT the separate, unrelated Town of Menasha in Winnebago County (not in this list).
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 — City of Menasha'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.
