Additional Notes
Village Clerk/Treasurer name is uncertain: one source (Vernon County site) names Martha Hall, while the DSPS delegated-UDC listing names Linda M DeGarmo at the identical phone/email — likely reflects a change in clerk between when each source was last updated; treat name as unconfirmed. UDC inspection is contracted to Dennis Butteris of General Engineering Co. (608-742-2169, gec@generalengineering.net). Village Office: 400 Depot Street (PO Box 156), Chaseburg, WI 54621.
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 Chaseburg'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.
