Additional Notes

VERNON County Town of Union — independently verified via the town's own official website (townofunionvernon.us), searched and fetched separately (query specified 'Vernon County') from the Rock and Waupaca County Towns of Union to avoid cross-contamination. Clerk Fay Urban's phone/email above are confirmed directly on the official site. A building inspector name, Michael Reuter (reported phone 608-348-3627 office / 608-642-0463 cell, email nspectormike@yahoo.com), surfaced only in secondary search results and could NOT be confirmed on the town's own site (which lists clerk/chairman contacts only) — flagged here as an unconfirmed hedge per project convention, not a verified fact. No online permit portal found; a Construction Information Form PDF is used instead. Town office: E15175 STH 82, Hillsboro, WI 54634.

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 Union'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.
