Additional Notes
This is the VILLAGE of Grafton (Ozaukee County), a distinct municipal government from the neighboring Town of Grafton (also Ozaukee County - see next entry); each has its own separate building department, inspector, and contact info, confirmed independently. Wisconsin DSPS's UDC-delegated list additionally names Jesse Thyes as Village Administrator/delegation administrator of record (262-375-5300, jthyes@village.grafton.wi.us) alongside Jim Micech as the delegated inspector, consistent with the village's own website. Additional staff: Nick Thill (Assistant Building Inspector), Sara Young and Sandy Fisher (administrative support). Online inspection scheduling is not available; inspections are scheduled by phone.
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 Grafton'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.
