Additional Notes
Downloadable Building Permit, Fireworks Permit, and Driveway Access Permit forms are posted on the town's Forms & Permits page; contact is by appointment through Clerk Carmen Dunham. Per the Wisconsin DSPS UDC-delegated-municipalities list (Aug 19, 2026) her phone is listed as 715-533-3245 and email cdunham@riverland.org, while the town's own website separately displays 715-523-2173 for scheduling appointments — both numbers are included as a hedge, since they may represent different lines or reflect a transcription variance between sources. This town's DSPS entry shows 'Opt-Out' status, but per the DSPS document's own definition that Opt-Out applies only to the separate Camping Units delegation (SPS 327.06), not to the underlying dwelling/UDC building-permit delegation, which this town holds. No UDC inspector name was listed for this town in the DSPS dataset; recommend calling to confirm the current contracted inspector.
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 Clear Creek'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.
