Additional Notes
WI DSPS lists Town of Eden (Iowa County, delegation code 25010, status 'Delegated') as UDC-delegated but with no named inspector/contact on file, and no confirmed UDC building inspector could be found for this town from official sources -- building permit applications are presumably administered through the Town Clerk pending direct verification. Clerk and address confirmed via Iowa County's official town page. Town Chairman Rick Zemlicka: 608-553-2192. Do not confuse with the separate, unrelated Village/Town of Eden pair in Fond du Lac County.
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 Eden'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.
