Additional Notes
Village of La Farge (DOA code 62146) is UDC-delegated per DSPS's August 19, 2026 list, but the DSPS table lists no named contact/inspector there. Per the village's own site and other web sources: Public Works Manager Wayne Haugrud handles building-permit/zoning/setback questions (608-625-2333; also listed by Vernon County as a Town of Webster UDC inspector at 608-606-3872, so his exact current role/scope for La Farge specifically is not fully confirmed). Village Clerk/Treasurer Kimberly Walker can be reached via the general village office line/email above. Village office address: 105 W Main St, La Farge, WI 54639.
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 La Farge'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.
