Additional Notes

Verified via two-rivers.org. Building Inspection Dept: (920) 793-5566, fax (920) 793-5512, 1717 E. Park Street, PO Box 87, Two Rivers, WI 54241. HEDGE: no dedicated department email is published on the city site itself; the email listed (adatay@two-rivers.org) is Community Development Director Adam Taylor's address, per the WI DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities list, given as the municipal UDC contact — it may route to administration rather than the inspections desk directly, so call the Building Inspection Dept phone for permit-specific matters. No dedicated online permit-submission portal (e.g., eTRAKiT/CityView/BS&A) was found; forms are PDF downloads. Distinct from the Town of Two Rivers and Town of Two Creeks, both also in this batch — no shared contacts 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 — City of Two Rivers'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.
