Additional Notes

Building inspection services are contracted to Jerry Anderson, who is also confirmed as the building inspector for the separate Town of Sharon, Walworth County - verified these are two distinct legal governments (separate village vs. town councils, separate offices) that simply share one contracted inspector; not a data-mixing error. Village office general line: 262-736-4888 (fax 262-736-4889). Village office email shown on-site is Cloudflare-protected; exact address not confirmed. Distinct from the unrelated Town of Sharon, Portage County.

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 Sharon'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.
