Additional Notes
This is a distinct incorporated government from the Town of Kingston (also Green Lake County — separate record in this batch) despite sharing a name and county, and unrelated to the Town of Kingston in Juneau County. Green Lake County's official 'Permit Contacts & Construction Reminders' document (PZZ-030, 7/23) lists a contracted UDC inspector only for the Towns of Kingston & St. Marie (Timothy Tripp, General Engineering Co., 608-617-6873, ttripp@generalengineering.net) — it does NOT list a separate UDC inspector for the Village of Kingston, so it's unconfirmed whether the village uses the same inspector, a different one, or self-administers. Recommend contacting the Village Clerk directly to confirm the current building-inspection arrangement. Village President: Jason Jerome; Clerk/Treasurer: Kathy Jerome.
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 Kingston'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.
