Additional Notes

A building permit and fire sign are required for all structures, including parked seasonal-use campers/trailers. Minimum lot size is 5 acres unless grandfathered. The building inspector, Jeremy Phillis, works through General Engineering Company (GEC), which also serves the nearby City of Mauston (Juneau County) at a company line of 608-742-2169/gec@generalengineering.net — the phone number found specifically attributed to Kildare (608-697-7807) may be a direct/alternate line for the same person; not independently cross-verified. The town's own website returned minimal content when fetched directly during this research (likely JS-rendered), so details rely on secondary search summaries — verify directly with the Town Clerk if precision is required. Applicants should contact the Town Clerk before beginning any project, then the Building Inspector after town approval.

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 Kildare'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.
