Additional Notes

Wisconsin DSPS delegation list confirms this Town of Stephenson (Marinette County, DOA code 38032) as Delegated but lists no current contact/inspector name in the table itself. The town's own website independently names Jane Meissner as Building Inspector, and DSPS listings for two other Marinette County towns using the same inspector (Athelstane and Grover) give her contact as 715-245-1708 / nebuildinginspector@gmail.com, matching the phone found on Stephenson's site — used here as a reasonable, though not town-specific, confirmation of her email. Mailing address: W11954 Kitty Dell Circle, Crivitz, WI 54114; fax 715-757-3680. A separate town-office administrative phone/email for permit intake (as opposed to the inspector directly) was not found.

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 Stephenson'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.
