Additional Notes
IMPORTANT: two unrelated Towns of Sand Lake exist in Wisconsin (Burnett County and Sawyer County) — researched and verified independently; this record is the Burnett County town. Mailing address PO Box 165, Webster, WI 54893; town hall at 5364 County Road X (the historic Dongola School). Per Burnett County's own FAQ, building permits are issued by the town itself, not the county (the county separately issues Land Use Permits via its Land Services Dept., 715-349-2109). DSPS's UDC-delegated list (Aug 19 2026 ed.) confirms delegation but publishes no named contact. Town Clerk: Maggie Olson, (715) 520-0735, Clerk@tn.sandlake.wi.gov. Building Inspector Jon Mattson/Atlas Inspections (who also serves the neighboring Town of Scott, Burnett Co., per the same DSPS list) is reachable at 715-554-2305 or an alternate 715-648-5444; no email address could be confirmed for him.
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 Sand 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.
