Additional Notes

Per WI DSPS's current UDC-delegated-authority list (line 942, DOA code 53028), Town Clerk Kelly Fallon (608-728-1010, clerk@newarkwi.gov) is the municipal contact, and Charlotte Martin (608-931-6759, cmartininsp@gmail.com) is the certified UDC inspector. Town address: 9528 W. Beloit Newark Road, Beloit, WI 53511. HEDGE: an older DSPS snapshot listed a different clerk name ('Dawn Wojtyla') at this line -- likely outdated and superseded by the current 'Kelly Fallon' listing used here.

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 Newark'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.
