Additional Notes

This is the VILLAGE of Sullivan — distinct from the Town of Sullivan (also Jefferson County) and from the Town of Sumner (also Jefferson County), both verified independently below. Note a minor domain inconsistency: the Village's official site is villageofsullivan-gov.us, while its published staff email uses the domain villageofsullivanwi.gov; both appear on the Village's own pages, but the discrepancy could not be fully resolved. Office hours Mon-Fri 8:00am-4:30pm (closed 12:00-12:45pm).

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 Sullivan'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.
