Additional Notes
Building/Zoning Inspector is Scott Jelle of Total Inspection Services, confirmed both on the Village's own website and by the WI DSPS statewide delegated-municipality list (8/19/2026). Applicants for new one-/two-family homes apply online via the state eSLA portal (Google Chrome required); the Village notes the state software has an intermittent glitch that fails to notify staff of new online submissions, so applicants are advised to also email the inspector directly. Village Hall: 501 Benson Street, Cobb, WI 53526, phone 608-623-2777.
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 Cobb'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.
