Additional Notes

Confirmed on the Town's own Permits page. HEDGE: the DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities PDF (Town of Tomah, Monroe County, DOA code 41042, Delegated, line 1236) lists a different General Engineering Co. inspector for this town (Aaron Holbach, 608-742-2169, gec@generalengineering.net) and a municipal contact of 'Breanna Zaremba, rweyer@tomahwi.gov, 608-343-5499, townoftomah@centurytel.net' — that email/phone combination (rweyer@tomahwi.gov) actually matches the City of Tomah's clerk contact elsewhere in the same PDF, suggesting possible cross-contamination in the DSPS source data between the Town and the separate City of Tomah. Town Clerk general contact per independent web search: (608) 372-4611, clerk@townoftomah.wi.gov, PO Box 7, Tomah, WI 54660. This Town of Tomah is a DIFFERENT, unrelated government from the City of Tomah (also Monroe County, covered in a separate batch) — verified separately.

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 Tomah'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.
