Additional Notes

Wisconsin DSPS delegation list confirms this Town of Stanton (Dunn County, DOA code 17036) as Delegated but lists no current contact name in the table itself. The town's own website (townofstanton.org) independently names Clerk-Treasurer Valerie Windsor and Building Inspector Joe Atwood — the same inspector used by several Barron County towns (e.g., Town of Sioux Creek) per the Barron County UDC inspector list, supporting this identification. Mailing address: N8414 County Rd O, Knapp, WI 54749. A separate 'Stanton Town Shop' phone (715-643-7066) also appears on a Dunn County land-use planning PDF. This town is a distinct, unrelated government from the Town of Stanton in St. Croix County listed next — verify independently; do not confuse 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 Stanton'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.
