Additional Notes

GREEN COUNTY entry, independently verified via the town's own official site (townofwashingtongreencounty.com). WI DSPS delegated-authority PDF lists this town (DOA 23030) with status 'Delegated' and names the contact as 'Janet Carley, Clerk, at 608-558-0422' — however current sources (town site and Green County directory, as of this research date) identify the sitting Town Clerk as Steven Krebs (608-347-3462, clerktownof@tds.net, W6346 Highpoint Rd, Monticello, WI 53570), suggesting the DSPS roster entry is stale/outdated. Both names/numbers are recorded here per project convention (hedge rather than omit) but Krebs's contact is used as the primary phone/email since it is the more recently confirmed one. No separate UDC/building inspector was identified. Town Hall: W6113 County Rd C, Monticello, WI 53570. Cross-checked against the other four Towns of Washington in this batch — phone, email, and domain are all distinct.

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 Washington'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.
