Additional Notes
Confirmed official town website at harroldsd.com. Phone number verified directly on site's Contact page (605.875.3523) via live screenshot. No email or mailing address is published on the site. The town posts a downloadable 'Building Permit Application 2024' (Word doc) and a general town Ordinance Update (04/01/2021) on its Ordinances and Forms page, but has no online portal and no dedicated Building Department -- permits are handled through the Town Office / three-member Board of Trustees. Note: third-party sites (ezlocal, chamberofcommerce.com, countyoffice.org) list a different, unverified phone number for Harrold City Hall -- that figure was NOT used because it conflicts with the number confirmed on the town's own official site.
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 — Harrold'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.
