Additional Notes
DSPS delegated list (line 751, DOA code 38016) shows this Town of Lake as 'Delegated' but with contact fields blank there; building inspector confirmed directly from the town's own website. No email address published for the inspector — phone/mail only. Town Clerk (general office): 715-927-7899, office hours Tue/Wed 9am-1pm, W6202 Loomis Road, Porterfield, WI 54159. This is ONE OF TWO unrelated Towns of Lake in this batch (Marinette vs. Price counties) — verified independently via distinct DSPS DOA codes; do not conflate the two.
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 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.
