Additional Notes
Town of West Kewaunee appears on the DSPS UDC Delegated-Municipalities PDF (Town of West Kewaunee, Kewaunee Co., DOA code 31020, Delegated) but with no contact listed there. Contact info instead sourced from the town's own official website (townofwestkewaunee.com), which provides a downloadable 'Township Building Permit Application' on its Forms & Permits page and a Driveway Permit application, and lists office hours as 'by appointment only' (1523 Ellis Street, Kewaunee, WI 54216; fax 920-388-7195). The clerk's personal name was not found. HEDGE: one automated extraction of the contact page rendered the email as 'westkewauneeclark@gmail.com' (likely an OCR/parsing typo), while the original web search snippet showed 'westkewauneeclerk@gmail.com' -- the latter is used here as more plausible, but verify before relying on it. No UDC inspector was listed in the DSPS PDF for this town.
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 West Kewaunee'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.
