Additional Notes
Confirmed via two independent official sources: the Wisconsin DSPS UDC delegation list (dsps.wi.gov, Aug 19 2026, DOA code 12182, status: Delegated) and Crawford County's own 'Clerks / UDC Inspectors' PDF (crawfordcountywi.gov). Both agree on Clerk/Treasurer Kristin Running (PO Box 77, Steuben, WI 54657; email villageofsteuben@gmail.com) and UDC inspector Josh Copsey of General Engineering Company. Phone number differs slightly between the two sources — Crawford County's PDF and the county's general municipality contact page both give 608-485-3546 (used here as primary), while the DSPS list gives 608-476-3546; flagging this minor discrepancy rather than picking one silently. No dedicated village website was found (village office is reached by phone/mail only). Village President is listed elsewhere as Kevin Stickley, 608-476-2140, 122 Midway Street, Steuben, WI 54657, as an alternate contact if the clerk is unavailable.
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 — Village of Steuben'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.
