Additional Notes
The Town Clerk (Lori Hemmersbach) is the primary contact for building permit applications, which are available on the Town's Applications page (Do I Need a Permit?, New Home Construction Permit Guidelines, General Building Permit Application, WI Uniform Building Permit Application). The Town's website recommends 'General Engineering Building Inspection Services' for UDC inspections but does not name a specific assigned individual inspector for this town on the pages reviewed; General Engineering Company's main office is 608-742-2169 / gec@generalengineering.net -- included as a hedge since it is a general recommendation rather than a confirmed named assignment. Town Hall: S1299 County Road D, Cashton, WI 54619, phone 608-654-5954.
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 Clinton'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.
