Additional Notes
Green Lake County requires a Land Use Permit (issued by the county, not the town) for land-disturbing activity/construction in zoned towns, including the Town of Berlin. Berlin Town Hall: N9291 Willard Rd, Berlin, WI 54923, phone 920-361-4717. A secondary source additionally lists a 'Berlin Building Inspector' at 108 North Capron Street — the same address as the City of Berlin's Planning & Development/building-inspection office, 920-361-5402 — suggesting the Town may share or use the City's contracted building inspection services (Kunkel Engineering Group), but this arrangement is NOT independently confirmed for the Town specifically. WI DSPS 'Municipalities with Delegated Authority for the UDC' list (Aug 19, 2026) lists Town of Berlin, Green Lake County (DOA code 24002) as UDC-delegated but leaves both the contact and inspector columns blank. This is a normal City/Town pair (a third, unrelated Town of Berlin exists in Marathon County but is out of scope here).
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 Berlin'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.
