Additional Notes

Building inspection is contracted to REM Inspecting (Dan Kegley), confirmed via Wisconsin DSPS UDC-delegated municipalities list (line 546, DOA Code 48022). Town also uses Wisconsin Inspection Agency per one secondary source, but the DSPS official list and the town's own REM Inspecting profile page both point to REM Inspecting as the current UDC inspector, so that is used here.

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 Farmington'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.
