Additional Notes

One of three unrelated Marshfields researched (the well-known City of Marshfield spans Marathon/Wood counties; a separate unrelated Town of Marshfield is in Wood County) — verified this Fond du Lac County town independently and did not let the city's info bleed in. WI DSPS's Aug 19, 2026 list names Town Clerk Marlene J. Sippel (920-627-1146, marstwncl@gmail.com) and Building Inspector Doug Hoerth of Final Look Inspection Services LLC (920-375-0723, finallookinspectionservices@yahoo.com), independently corroborated by the inspection firm's own website. Note the town's own website separately lists a Town Hall main line, 920-753-4691, and a clerk email townclerk@townofmarshfieldwi.gov — a second, possibly newer/alternate contact set not reconciled with the DSPS entry.

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 Marshfield'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.
