Additional Notes

Per the Town's own official website, the Town of Blue Mounds building inspector is Scott Jelle of Total Inspection Services (the same contractor used by several other south-central Wisconsin towns/villages, e.g. Town/Village of Blanchard(ville) in Lafayette/Iowa counties). The Town established its own zoning/land-use administration effective January 1, 2018 and has been delegated authority to inspect commercial buildings within the Town. A 2008 DSPS delegation letter names an older Town Chairman (Dennis Jelle) and a separate web search surfaced a possibly outdated clerk name (Michael Freitag); the Town's current official contacts were not independently re-verified beyond the building-permits page itself, so treat clerk contact details as unconfirmed pending a direct call.

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 Blue Mounds'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.
