Additional Notes

POLK COUNTY Town of Lincoln, independently verified via the town's own official site (townoflincoln-wi.com, self-identifying as Polk County) and the WI DSPS UDC delegation list (Aug 2026), which agree on inspector Dan Kegley, REM Inspecting LLC, 715-497-3458, udc@reminspecting.com (the town site separately shows a Kegley phone/email that render blank in fetched output but match on the 715-497-3458 number). REM Inspecting's own office (418 3rd Ave / PO Box 52, Clear Lake, WI 54005) is geographically consistent with Polk County, corroborating this is the correct, non-contaminated assignment -- REM Inspecting was checked and confirmed NOT to be the inspector for the same-named Towns of Lincoln in Buffalo, Burnett, Forest, Monroe, or Wood Counties in this batch. Clerk Stephanie Marciniak's phone appears as 715-268-4667 in the DSPS list and as 715-268-4747 on the town's own site -- both plausible (possibly office vs. direct line), hedge noted; email taken from the DSPS list. Town Hall: 661 85th St., Amery, WI 54001.

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 Lincoln'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.
