Additional Notes
This is the TOWN of Niagara, Marinette County — distinct from the separate City of Niagara government also in Marinette County (see that record). The town's own website lists the same individual, Bob Grandaw, and the same phone number (715-548-1058) as Zoning Administrator, but with a different email (townofniagara21@gmail.com vs. the city's cityofniagara21@gmail.com) — plausible if he serves both small adjacent governments, but this overlap could not be independently confirmed and should be verified. For new dwellings/additions the town directs applicants to state-delegated inspector Greg Baas (Baas Inspection Agency, https://baasinspectionagencyllc.com/). DSPS delegated-municipality PDF (row 947, DOA 38020) lists the Town as Delegated with no contact filled in on that row. Town Hall general contact: (715) 251-1545, clerk@tn.niagara.wi.gov, PO Box 78 / W6889 US Highway 8, Niagara, WI 54151. Watch for generic 'Niagara' web searches surfacing Niagara Falls NY/Ontario instead of this town.
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 Niagara'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.
