Additional Notes

Distinct government from the City of Kaukauna (verified separately above). Town contracts building inspection to Tom Smith Inspections LLC. Permit process requires mailing a completed application, plans, construction data sheet, park fee ($400 payable to the Town), and inspection fees (payable to Tom Smith Inspections LLC) to the inspector's address. No online permit portal found; Town Chairman John Alferi may also be a contact per search results (unconfirmed/current officeholder not verified).

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 Kaukauna'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.
