Additional Notes

Search results indicate the Town Clerk's office issues zoning/building permit applications for the Town of Diana. The Town of Diana is NOT listed among the municipalities served by the Lewis County Building & Fire Code Department (which uses the Cloudpermit online system for the towns it does serve), suggesting Diana handles building permits locally rather than through the county. Direct verification of the town's own Planning & Zoning page was not possible during this research (the site returned 404 errors to automated fetch attempts) -- confirm current process by phone before relying on this.

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 Diana'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.
