Additional Notes

Confirmed the village straddles two counties: DSPS PDF lists it as 'Village of New Auburn, In Multiple Counties (DOA code 09161)' — matching the task's warning that it spans Barron and Chippewa counties (2020 census: 25 residents in Barron County, 537 in Chippewa County). The county field in this record ('Barron') reflects the jurisdiction pairing specified in the task; the village itself and its single building-permit department serve the whole village regardless of county line. DSPS (line 1616) confirms Delegated status with Clerk/Treasurer Stephanie Daniells (715-237-2223, Sdaniells@newauburn-wi.com) and Building Inspector Joe Atwood (715-764-2948, buildinginspector@newauburn-wi.com). Permit forms are emailed to the inspector address.

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 — Village of New Auburn'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.
