Additional Notes
This town does NOT appear on the Wisconsin DSPS 'Municipalities with Delegated Authority for the UDC' list (Aug 19, 2026) reviewed for this research, suggesting it lacks its own municipal UDC/building-permit delegation; building/UDC permitting in non-delegated Wisconsin towns typically defaults to a delegated county (if any) or to DSPS directly, but Taylor County's own county-level UDC delegation status was not confirmed in this research (only its Zoning Dept., 715-748-1485, which handles shoreland/floodplain/sanitary/zoning permits, was confirmed). Per Taylor County's own town directory, current officials are Clerk Joseph Liegl (phone/email above) and Chairman Scott Capelle, W14550 Division Rd, Gilman, WI 54433. An older/alternate contact found elsewhere online (Town Hall listed at W14492 County Rd M, Gilman; maximus1@centurytel.net; 715-668-5622) could not be reconciled with the current county directory entry and is included here only as an unconfirmed hedge, not a verified current contact. Recommend calling the Town Clerk directly to confirm the current building-permit process and any contracted UDC inspector. Distinct from the Cleveland towns/village in Chippewa, Jackson, Manitowoc, and Marathon Counties.
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 Cleveland'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.
