Additional Notes
SAME-NAME WARNING: this is the Town of La Grange in Monroe County, UNRELATED to the separate Town of La Grange in Walworth County (also in this batch) — researched independently. DSPS's August 19, 2026 UDC-delegated-municipalities list names the current UDC inspector as Aaron Holbach, General Engineering – Insp, 608-742-2169, gec@generalengineering.net. An earlier (older) web listing instead named 'Kent Erickson' at General Engineering, 608-697-7774 — likely the same firm with a staffing change, but the discrepancy is unresolved; DSPS's current dated list is treated as more authoritative. Town Clerk: Wendy Von Haden, 608-372-3594, clerk@townoflagrangemcwi.gov. Town address: 22731 Flint Ave, Tomah, WI 54660.
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 La Grange'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.
