Additional Notes

WAUPACA County Town of Union — independently verified via the town's own official website (townofunionwaupacacounty.com), searched and fetched separately from the Rock and Vernon County Towns of Union to avoid cross-contamination. As of January 1, 2024, Waupaca County assumed Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) and camping-unit jurisdiction for this town (per the town site and consistent with a DSPS delegated-agent letter found at dsps.wi.gov/.../UDCWaupacaCounty.pdf, which could not be text-extracted reliably but whose filename/context corroborates county jurisdiction). Contact Waupaca County Planning & Zoning at (715) 258-6255 for all UDC/permit matters. Town Clerk Kelly Norton can be reached at (920) 538-1944. No individual county UDC inspector name was identified. Town Hall: E6952 Hwy 22, Bear Creek, WI. No online permit portal found.

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 Union'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.
