Additional Notes

Not found on the DSPS UDC delegated-municipality list. Per the town's Forms & Permits guidance: bring the completed Building Permit form plus two drawings (site plan, measurements, setbacks) to the Plan Commission meeting (2nd Monday monthly), then present at the Town Board meeting immediately following; after town approval, the applicant completes the permit process through General Engineering Company, the town's contracted UDC inspection agency, and any required Sauk County permits separately. No work may begin before all permits are in place.

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 Woodland'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.
