Additional Notes
IMPORTANT DISAMBIGUATION: the Town of Grantsburg is a separate government from the Village of Grantsburg (both Burnett County, both in this list) -- verified independently; contact info not reused between them. Town Hall: 23211 State Road 48, Grantsburg, WI 54840 (an older phone number, (715) 463-2759, also appears in some listings; the town's current own site lists (715) 463-5600 and points to a newer site at tn.grantsburg.wi.gov). Requires a Land Use/Zoning Permit plus a Wisconsin UDC building permit for new dwellings/bunkhouses. Could not confirm the name of the town's current delegated UDC building inspector -- the WI DSPS UDC-delegated municipalities list shows this town as delegated but the extracted table had no captured contact/inspector name for this row. Recommend calling the Town Clerk for the current inspector referral.
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 Grantsburg'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.
