Additional Notes
Small village (~500 residents) with no distinct building/zoning department found; permitting appears to be handled generally through Village Hall (the site notes 'no office hours,' i.e. by appointment/call). The Village's official site (subletteweb.com) lists a Gmail address as its published general contact channel rather than a municipal-domain email - unusual, but it is what the Village itself publishes as official contact. No online permit portal found.
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 — Village of Sublette'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.
