Additional Notes
DSPS UDC delegated-municipality PDF (row 1620, DOA 51161) lists Village of North Bay as Delegated but with no named contact in that row; confirmed instead via the village's own current website. The village's web domain appears to have recently changed from northbay-wi.us to vnbwi.gov (the old domain 301-redirects to the new one). Village Hall general line: 262-639-2334, 3615 Hennepin Place, Racine, WI 53402. Separate electrical inspector Gregg Hansen (262-977-0488) and plumbing inspector Rick Herrman (262-498-3191) also listed on the village site if needed.
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 North Bay'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.
