Additional Notes
Per the WI DSPS UDC delegation list (Aug 2026), the contracted building inspector on file is Bob White, 608-339-6686, adamsct@maqs.net. Note: the town's own website separately referenced 'General Engineering / Kent Erickson, 608-697-7774' for building permits when checked independently -- this could be an older reference, a related General Engineering Co. staff assignment, or a different service tier; flagged as an unresolved discrepancy worth confirming directly. Town Clerk: Dale Ann Bohac, 715-284-8759, aspenhomes@centurytel.net, Town Hall at N7370 US Hwy 12/27, Black River Falls, WI 54615. This is a distinct government from the City of Adams and from the Towns of Adams in Adams and Green Counties, which happen to share the same name.
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 Adams'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.
