Additional Notes

No dedicated village website was found for the Village of Lime Ridge. Wisconsin DSPS's UDC delegated-authority list shows the Village of Lime Ridge as 'Delegated' but names no specific contact. Village President Donald Fearing (608-986-2403) is the only confirmed current official contact found (via Sauk County's comprehensive-plan page). Sauk County's Land Resources & Environment Dept (608-355-3245, 505 Broadway, Baraboo) handles land-use/sanitary permits countywide and offers an online portal, but it is unconfirmed whether UDC dwelling permits for this self-administering village route through that county portal or directly through the village. Recommend confirming directly with the Village President or Sauk County LRE. No village clerk name, email, or mailing address could be confirmed.

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 Lime Ridge'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.
