Additional Notes

Per the Wisconsin DSPS 'Municipalities with Delegated Authority for the UDC' list (dsps.wi.gov, Aug 19 2026), City of Stanley (DOA code 09281, spans Chippewa & Clark Counties) has 'Opt-Out' delegation status and the table directs inquiries to 'See County of Chippewa' for both municipality contact and UDC inspector — i.e., the City itself does not independently administer one- & two-family dwelling (UDC) construction permits/inspections; Chippewa County does. County contact: Douglas Clary, Director of Planning and Zoning, 715-726-7941, DClary@co.chippewa.wi.us; County UDC/commercial inspector Caleb Dahlke, 715-726-7932, cdahlke@chippewacountywi.gov. Separately, the City's own Clerk's Office handles other local forms/permits and licensing: 353 S. Broadway St, PO Box 155, Stanley, WI 54768; phone (715) 644-5758; email clerk@ci.stanley.wi.gov; see ci.stanley.wi.gov/formsandpermits. This City of Stanley is unrelated to the Town of Stanley (Barron County) and Town of Stanfold (Barron County) verified separately above.

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 — City of Stanley'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.
