Additional Notes

Confirmed via the village's own site (windsorwi.gov/inspection) and the DSPS delegated-municipality list (entry #578, DOA code 13196), which matches: Village Clerk Christine Capstran, 608-888-0066, Christine@windsorwi.gov; UDC inspector Kelly Green of General Engineering Company. The village obtained DSPS delegation in July 2023 for commercial building/plumbing/fire-suppression plan review, also handled by General Engineering Company (gecplanreview@generalengineering.net). Online applications are submitted via separate CivicReview links per permit type (e.g., Principal Structure, Accessory Structure) rather than one central portal URL; the link given is one representative application-type URL found on the site. Village Office: PO Box 348, 4430 Windsor Rd., Windsor, WI 53598.

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 Windsor'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.
