Additional Notes
Wisconsin DSPS UDC delegated-agent list (DOA code 01030, Delegated) names Town Administrator Jason Lauby (715-325-8034, lauby@romewi.com — note the town's current site uses the .gov domain, so this older .com address may be stale) as municipal contact and Stephanie Potter of MSA Professional Services (608-617-5691, spotter@msa-ps.com) as the delegated UDC inspector. The town's current Zoning & Building webpage lists a dedicated Zoning/Building line (715-325-8023, zoning@romewi.gov) used here as the primary permit-department contact. New construction also requires an Adams County Zoning Permit and, for new homes, an Adams County Sanitary Permit first.
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 Rome'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.
