Additional Notes

This is the Town of Otter Creek in DUNN County — confirmed as a UDC-'Delegated' municipality on the DSPS list. There is a second, unrelated Town of Otter Creek in Eau Claire County (see separate entry below) — do not conflate. Process: obtain a zoning permit from Dunn County Zoning first (715-231-6520, pandz@co.dunn.wi.us), then the building permit/inspection from Matt Flatland, then a $50 Town Land Use Permit from the Clerk-Treasurer, Beverly Bernier, 715-658-0131.

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 Otter Creek'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.
