Additional Notes

Confirmed as a DSPS-delegated municipality (Delegation Authority level 2) per the DSPS delegated-municipality PDF, line 579, which names Clerk Lee Kucher (608-464-3114, wonewoc@bugnet.net) as municipal contact and Jeremy Phillis of General Engineering Company (608-742-2169, gec@generalengineering.net) as the contracted UDC inspector. NOTE/HEDGE: the current village website (wonewocwisc.com) lists a different clerk email, admin@wonewocwi.gov, than the DSPS PDF's wonewoc@bugnet.net — this discrepancy (likely the DSPS PDF being out of date) is flagged rather than silently resolved. This is a distinct government from the Town of Wonewoc (also Juneau County) — verified separately.

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 Wonewoc'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.
