Additional Notes
No named building inspector was found for the Town of Tipler; the WI DSPS UDC-delegation list (8/19/2026) lists the town as UDC-delegated but leaves the municipal-contact/inspector fields blank in that source. Florence County Zoning Administrator Kelly Sleeter (715-528-3206) handles county-level zoning and was listed in the town's staff directory as the zoning/permit contact, suggesting county involvement in the permitting process, but this was not independently confirmed as covering UDC dwelling inspections specifically. Email shown (info@townoftipler.org) is the town's general contact address decoded from the staff-directory page; Amanda Harvat's personal email was similarly obfuscated on the site and not separately confirmed. Mailing/physical address: 11102 Dream Lake Rd, Tipler, WI 54542. Chairman: Fran Modschiedler, 715-674-2610 (last digit uncertain — source listed an apparently truncated '715-674-261').
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 Tipler'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.
