Additional Notes

VERIFIED as Shawano County (independently confirmed via the town's own official domain senecawi.com, distinct from the Green Lake, Crawford, and Wood County Towns of Seneca). No email address was published for Clerk Raymond Rigsby on the town's own site. Inspector Mike Block's email, mikeblock67@icloud.com, and phone 715-490-4069 were cross-checked against the Wisconsin DSPS UDC-delegation list (Aug 19, 2026), which shows the identical inspector serving this and several other Shawano County towns – a genuine shared-inspector arrangement, not cross-contamination. No name/phone/email overlap with the other three Towns of Seneca.

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 Seneca'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.
