Additional Notes
Per the current official Shawano County Directory of Public Officials, the Village of Aniwa's Building Inspector is Michael Block (715-490-4069; no email on file with the county). Village Clerk/Treasurer is Mary O'Neill, PO Box 15, Aniwa, WI 54408, phone 715-218-2364, email clerktreas@vi.aniwa.wi.gov, who is likely the point of contact for permit paperwork/applications. Village meetings/business are conducted at the Community Center, W18996 1st St., Aniwa, WI 54408. No independent official Village of Aniwa website could be confirmed – a third-party directory lists the same Emma St. address as a 'Village Hall,' unconfirmed, so it is not used 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 — Village of Aniwa'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.
