Additional Notes

COUNTY VERIFIED — Burnett County, independently verified via the town's own site (townofunionbc.com). This is one of four 'Town of Union' entries in this batch (Burnett, Door, Eau Claire, Pierce Counties); researched fully independently — no shared phone, email, or contact names with the other three. The Town of Union (Burnett) does not itself issue building permits — all building/zoning permits (sheds, decks, carports, patios, etc.) are issued by Burnett County Land Services/Zoning at (715) 349-2109. This town was not found on the WI DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities list, consistent with permits being county-administered rather than town-delegated. Town Clerk (for local licenses, not building permits): Miki Messer, (715) 566-1857. General town email: townofunionbc@gmail.com. Mailing address: 8302 County Road U, Danbury, WI 54830. No dedicated permit-department email found; left null rather than guessed.

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 Union'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.
