Additional Notes
Building/land-use permit applications for additions, decks, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fencing, etc. are submitted directly to the Village (Stacey Wilker handles building permits; applications may be dropped off, mailed, or emailed); NEW one- or two-family dwelling construction instead goes through the statewide DSPS Electronic Building Permit portal (esla.wi.gov). Village Hall: 1150 West Washington Avenue, PO Box 87, Cleveland, WI 53015; general inquiries village@clevelandwi.gov; permit fees payable via clevelandwi.gov/payments (Payment Service Network). Per the Wisconsin DSPS UDC-delegated-municipalities list (Aug 19, 2026), the listed municipal contact is Clerk/Treasurer Stacy Grunwald, 920-693-8181, sgrunwald@clevelandwi.gov — likely the same office/phone line as Wilker's, with Wilker apparently handling day-to-day permit administration; both names are included. Fees double if work starts without a permit. Distinct from the Cleveland towns in Chippewa, Jackson, Marathon, and Taylor Counties.
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 Cleveland'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.
