Additional Notes

DSPS 2025 UDC delegated-authority list, line 546: 'Village of Somerset, St. Croix County' (DOA code 55181, Authority level 2). Municipal contact: Tasia Berger, Clerk, 715-247-3395, tberger@villageofsomerset.us. Inspector: Keith Anderson (TF Inspection Agency), 715-386-5410, tfiagency726@gmail.com. An earlier web source named the TF Inspection Agency contact as 'Tony Feuerhelm' rather than Keith Anderson -- both names are given here as a hedge since the agency may have more than one certified inspector or staff may have changed; the online InspectWiz portal link found on the village site references an odd 'brianwert.com' home-url parameter and could not be fully verified as currently functional.

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 Somerset'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.
