Per the WI DSPS UDC-delegated municipalities list (Aug 19, 2026), the general village/UDC-delegation contact on file is Michelle Seidl, Director of Finance/Clerk/Treasurer, 920-593-5511, mseidl@villageofbellevuewi.gov — this may be a general administrative contact rather than the day-to-day building-permit desk; the Building Inspection office's own direct line is 920-468-5225. No specific inspector name/email was found; a direct building-department email could not be confirmed.

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 Bellevue'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.
