Additional Notes
Town of Chicog contracts UDC building inspection to Boss Inspection Inc. (Steven Boss), 10480N Red Pine Lane, Hayward, WI 54843; office by appointment only. A separate Washburn County UDC-inspector list names the same firm for Chicog as 'Boss Inspection / John Boss, 715-790-3688' and Wisconsin DSPS's statewide list shows the inspector contact as 'Jennifer Sobotta at bossinsp@charter.net' -- all three appear to be the same Boss Inspection agency with different staff/numbers on file; verify the current point of contact before outreach. General town contact: Clerk Terri Corrie, (715) 466-4129, chicogclerk@gmail.com; Town Hall (715) 466-4525, W8499 State Highway 77, Trego, WI 54888.
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 Chicog'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.
