Additional Notes

No dedicated town website was located. Contact per the Grant County 2026-2027 Official Directory (parsed directly with pdfplumber to avoid column-misalignment errors from naive text extraction). DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities registry lists this town (DOA 22020) as 'Delegated' for UDC but names no specific building inspector in the registry itself - likely arranged informally; contact the Clerk to confirm the current UDC inspector. Grant County Zoning Dept (608-723-6080, dept head Keith Lane) handles land-use/zoning permits for the area, separate from UDC dwelling permits. NOTE: an earlier web-search summary wrongly attributed clerk 'Michael Boge' to this town; verified against the county directory PDF that Boge is actually the Town of Jamestown's clerk - rejected here as cross-contamination between similarly-listed Grant County towns.

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 Harrison'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.
