Additional Notes
Confirmed via the Village of Richfield's own official website (richfieldwi.gov). Office hours are limited/split (Mon 7:30-8:45am & 12:30-1:15pm; Tue-Wed 12:30-1:15pm; Thu-Fri 7:30-8:45am); the site states emailed applications are NOT accepted -- see the site's Permits page for required submission method. The Wisconsin DSPS delegated-authority list (dsps.wi.gov, Aug 19, 2026, row 1670, DOA 66166, Delegated) independently confirms the Village at the same general phone (262-628-2260) but names different individuals: municipal contact Jim Healy, Administrator, ext. 115, administrator@richfieldwi.gov; UDC Inspector Joel Jaster, inspector@richfieldwi.gov. This may reflect staffing turnover between the DSPS list's data pull and the live village site, or Mary Strankowski and Joel Jaster may be different people covering different inspection types -- both names are given here as a hedge; the village's own live page (Mary Strankowski) is used as the primary structured contact. DISAMBIGUATION: this is Washington County's Village of Richfield -- unrelated to the Town of Richfield in Adams County or the Town of Richfield in Wood County in this same dataset.
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 Richfield'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.
