Additional Notes

This is one of FOUR unrelated Towns of Lima researched in this batch (Grant, Pepin, Rock, Sheboygan counties) — researched independently; do not conflate. Per the 2026-2027 Grant County Official Directory, Clerk is Renee Baker (608-732-7991, clerk@townoflimagrantcountywi.gov) and Chairperson is David Steinbach (608-778-5270, chairman@townoflimagrantcountywi.gov). The town appears to use the domain townoflimagrantcountywi.gov for email, but that domain did not resolve to a live website during this research (DNS lookup failed) — a dedicated public town website may not currently exist, or may use a different address; treat any URL guess as unconfirmed and it is omitted here. Wisconsin DSPS lists this Town of Lima (Grant County) as 'Delegated' for UDC but names no separate inspector contact.

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 Lima'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.
