Additional Notes
Town of Bennett requires only a driveway permit directly from the town. Uniform Dwelling Code building permits/inspections (required for 1- and 2-family dwellings) are handled by Rob Lietha, Inspector Rob Agency LLC, 218-393-6482, inspectorrob1@hotmail.com. This inspector's coverage of Douglas-County-area towns (including Amnicon and Cloverland) is directly confirmed in the WI DSPS 'Municipalities with Delegated Authority for the UDC' list (Aug 19, 2026), but DSPS's own row for Town of Bennett itself left the contact/inspector columns blank — the Bennett-specific assignment is corroborated via the town's own website rather than a direct DSPS entry, so treat with light caution. Town Clerk: Morgan Fowler, office 715-375-2394, cell 715-817-5994, clerk@townofbennett.wi.gov. Douglas County Planning & Zoning general line: 715-395-1380.
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 Bennett'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.
