Additional Notes

DSPS delegated-authority list (line 1359) shows Town of Woodmohr, Chippewa County (DOA 09046) as 'Opt-Out' status — the PDF's Municipality Contact and Inspector fields both literally read 'See County of Chippewa', meaning Chippewa County's Planning & Zoning Dept (711 N Bridge St, Chippewa Falls; 715-726-7940; PZ-Web@chippewacountywi.gov) exercises UDC building-permit jurisdiction, not the town itself. Per Chippewa County's own UDC page, applicants must first complete the Wisconsin Uniform Building Permit Application on the DSPS Online Building Permit portal (esla.wi.gov) for new 1- and 2-family dwellings, then submit a hard copy to the County. The town's own site (townofwoodmohr.com) names Vanessa LaMeer as Town Clerk, cell 715-450-2549, Town Hall 715-568-4328, 16738 125th St., Bloomer, WI 54724 — her email is Cloudflare-obfuscated on the site and could not be confirmed in plain text, so it is left null rather than guessed; phone/email fields above use the confirmed County contact since UDC permitting is opted out to the County. Hedge: the town clerk remains the right first contact for local (non-UDC) matters.

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 Woodmohr'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.
