Additional Notes
The town's Forms & Permits page offers building, driveway, zoning, and demolition permit forms as downloadable PDFs, but does not name a specific UDC inspector. Town Zoning Dept. phone: 920-255-1276; general Town Office (by appointment only): 920-388-3251, N1296 Town Hall Road, Kewaunee, WI 54216. The Wisconsin DSPS UDC-delegated-municipalities list (Aug 2026) confirms this town (Kewaunee County, DOA code 31004) is UDC-delegated but lists no current municipal contact or inspector in that dataset.
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 Carlton'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.
