Additional Notes
Town of Bloom is not zoned under Richland County zoning; residential land-use permits are obtained from the County per the County's own township information brochure. That brochure names only three townships with a specifically listed alternate UDC inspector (Ithaca Township & Village of Lone Rock -> General Engineering Company; Richland Township -> Johnson Inspections; Village of Viola -> Wayne Haugrud); Bloom is not among those exceptions, which implies its UDC building permits default to the county's own building inspector, believed to be Michael Reuter (608-642-0463, Richland County Government) per a secondary web search — this specific assignment to Bloom is inferred rather than directly stated in an official source, so treat it as an uncertain/hedged lead and confirm with the county. Town Board Chairman Wayne Morse Jr, phone given inconsistently as either 608-574-3442 or 608-754-3442 across sources, chairman@townofbloomwi.gov; Clerk Shelly Schweiger, 608-627-1110 (also seen as 608-604-5714), clerk@townofbloomwi.gov; mailing address 13775 County Highway H, Hillsboro, WI 54634.
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 Bloom'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.
