Additional Notes

DSPS confirms delegated UDC authority (Muni #61181); DSPS's table names a prior clerk, Michelle Loken, and lists inspector as 'See County of Trempealeau.' The village's own current website instead names Tish Nelson as Clerk/Treasurer (vos-clerktreasurer@tcc.coop) and Brad Olson as the current Zoning/Building Permits contact (also Public Works Director) — used here as the more current source. No online permit portal found; forms are downloadable PDFs (village building permit and Trempealeau County building permit applications).

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 Strum'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.
