Additional Notes
Building inspections handled by Duff Leaver (same contracted inspector as neighboring Town of Ackley), per the WI DSPS UDC delegation list (Aug 2026). Note: the town's own website separately lists Town Clerk Marg Van Rossum (715-219-1035), while the DSPS list names the clerk as Kathleen Koller (715-484-8949, townofainsworth@ymail.com) -- this discrepancy may reflect a recent clerk turnover; confirm directly. Town Hall: N9299 County Road TT, Pearson, WI 54462 / PO Box 78, Pickerel, WI 54462.
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 Ainsworth'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.
