Additional Notes

DSPS confirms Town of Stone Lake holds delegated UDC authority (Muni #65040), but DSPS's current online table lists no municipal contact or inspector name for this entry. No independent town government website was found (only a Facebook page and a Washburn County comprehensive-planning page). The only delegation letter on file is a scanned Sept. 26, 2008 letter naming then-clerk/treasurer Barbara Ruprecht (N5747 Division Ave, Stone Lake WI 54876) and certified inspector Jon Mattson of Atlas Inspections — 17+ years old and likely outdated, though Atlas Inspections (Jon Mattson) was still listed as the Washburn County state-contracted UDC agency as of a 2014 letter for the neighboring Town of Stinnett, suggesting some continuity. Recommend contacting Washburn County Zoning (715-468-4690) to confirm current town contact. Do not confuse with Town of Stinnett or with City/Town of Spooner or Town of Springbrook, all also in Washburn 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 — Town of Stone Lake'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.
