Additional Notes

HEDGE: The village's own website (villageoftony.com) could not be fetched — its SSL certificate has expired — so this contact info is sourced from Rusk County's official Village of Tony listing page instead. The DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities PDF confirms Village of Tony, Rusk County (DOA code 54186) as Delegated (line 1724) but printed no contact name or inspector in that row; no dedicated building inspector name could be found, so the Village Clerk is listed here as the presumed point of contact for permits — confirm directly with the village.

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 Tony'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.
