Additional Notes
WI DSPS UDC delegation list shows Town of Lakewood (entry #756, Oconto County) as 'Delegated' but with no contact populated in that table row. A third-party inspector-services page (duffleaverinspections.com/oconto-permits/, not an official government domain) states building permits for the Town of Lakewood are submitted by mail to Duff Leaver Inspections, N3405 Orchard Rd, Antigo, WI 54409, and that a required Oconto County zoning/land-use permit must first be obtained from Bill Lester, 920-834-7160. A direct phone/email for Duff Leaver Inspections specific to Lakewood could not be confirmed on an official .gov domain — treat as a hedge pending direct confirmation. General Town Clerk contact: Michelle Moczynski, 715-276-3579, clerk@lakewood.wi.gov, 17181 Twin Pines Road / PO Box 40, Lakewood, WI 54138.
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 Lakewood'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.
