Additional Notes
This is the Village of Kennan — distinct government from the Town of Kennan (verified separately below), though both are in Price County. No dedicated building inspector was found for the Village; the Village President (Jill Arndt) is the listed zoning contact. A separate general Village contact line/email was also found: (715) 474-3325 / president@villageofkennan.wi.gov — unclear if this is the same office or a newer official listing; both are provided as possible current contacts. Sanitary permits go through Price County Zoning Dept ((715) 339-3272).
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 Kennan'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.
