Additional Notes

Confirmed directly from the Village of Ridgeway's own website: Building Inspector Todd Parkos, phone 608-516-1251. His email is presented on the page as a mailto link whose plain-text address could not be extracted, so it is left blank rather than guessed. Village Hall: 208 Jarvis Street Suite A, Ridgeway, WI 53582; office phone 608-924-5881, cell 608-574-1797. This is a DISTINCT village government from the Town of Ridgeway (also Iowa County) — verified separately in the next record; do not attribute this village's info to the town or vice versa.

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 — Village of Ridgeway'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.
