Additional Notes

The Town of Hewett does NOT appear on the DSPS UDC delegated-municipality list (Aug 19, 2026), unlike many neighboring Clark County towns -- this suggests it has not delegated Uniform Dwelling Code authority, so UDC permits/inspections for new 1-2 family dwellings are likely handled directly by the State (DSPS Division of Industry Services, 608-266-2112) rather than a municipal or county inspector. Land-use/zoning permits go through the Clark County Planning & Zoning Dept, 517 Court St Room 204, Neillsville WI 54456, 715-743-5130. The Town Hall address/phone (W8378 Maple Rd, Neillsville, WI 54456; 715-743-4448) comes from an older, unverified directory-style listing and could not be confirmed via an official current Town or County source -- treat as tentative and verify by phone before relying on it. NOTE: spelled 'Hewett' (Clark County) -- distinct from the similarly-spelled but unrelated 'Hewitt' (a Town in Marathon County and a separate Village in Wood County, different batch) -- do not conflate despite the similar spelling.

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 Hewett'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.
