Additional Notes

This is the TOWN of Hortonia -- a distinct government from the neighboring VILLAGE of Hortonville, verified separately. Zoning/building-permit questions go to Paul Hanlon (920-878-0024), who also serves as Building Inspector for the Village of Hortonville; this was confirmed independently on both entities' own websites, so it reflects one contractor serving two municipalities rather than data cross-contamination. Town Clerk Lyn Neuenfeldt handles general/election inquiries (920-216-0932, clerk@townofhortonia.org). No inspector email or online permit portal was found; town office at 215 W Main St, Hortonville, WI 54944.

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 Hortonia'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.
