Additional Notes

This is the VILLAGE of Hortonville -- a distinct government from the neighboring TOWN of Hortonia, verified separately, though both are served by the same contracted Building Inspector, Paul Hanlon (cell 920-878-0024, home 920-982-4201); appointment required at the Municipal Services Center. DSPS delegation records separately name Village Administrator Nathan Treadwell (920-779-6011, village.administrator@hortonville.wi.gov) as the municipal delegation contact. No inspector email or dedicated online building-permit portal was found (a JotForm exists only for the commercial electrical permit).

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 Hortonville'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.
