Additional Notes

Confirmed via DSPS delegated-authority list (line 1368): Town of York, Green County (DOA 23032), Delegated status, though the PDF itself leaves the Municipality Contact and Inspector fields blank. The town's own official website (townofyork.org) independently confirms Clerk-Treasurer Brenda Hackbart, P.O. Box 10, Blanchardville, WI 53516-0010, phone 608-527-8125, email clerk-treasurer@townofyork.wi.gov, and names Scott Jelle of Total Inspection Services LLC, phone 608-963-0652, email totalinspectionservices@gmail.com, as the town's Building Inspector under Building Permit Ordinance #10-3 — this inspector is independently corroborated elsewhere in DSPS's own records (he also covers the Town of Willow Springs, Lafayette County, and the Village of Argyle, Lafayette County). VERIFIED as independently researched and NOT conflated with the two other, unrelated Towns of York in this batch (Clark County and Dane County) — no contact information overlaps. This is the ONLY one of the three Wisconsin Towns of York that appears on the DSPS delegated-authority list.

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 York'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.
