Additional Notes
DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities list confirms Delegated status (DOA code 39008), Clerk Phyllis Ingram, 608-296-4711, harristownclerk@maqs.net, and lists the Inspector column as 'See County of Marquette' — meaning the town holds delegated permit-issuing authority but relies on Marquette County's Planning & Zoning Department for inspections rather than a town-specific named inspector. County office: 77 W. Park St., Room 104, Montello, WI 53949, phone 608-297-3036. No individual county inspector name was confirmed in this pass (dwelling-code-building-permits page returned a 404; general county contact page did not list staff names) — hedge.
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 Harris'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.
