Additional Notes

Independently verified via the village's own official site (villageoflinden.com). Zoning Administrator Doug Rider, (608) 228-1354; Building Inspector Scott Jelle, Total Inspection Services LLC, 131 Tyvand Rd, Blanchardville, WI 53516, (608) 963-0652, totalinspectionservices@gmail.com. Scott Jelle / Total Inspection Services is ALSO independently confirmed as the building inspector for the neighboring but legally distinct Town of Linden (Iowa County, below) via that town's own separate website -- this is a genuine shared-contractor arrangement between two nearby Iowa County jurisdictions, verified separately on each government's own domain, not a cross-contamination artifact. The WI DSPS UDC delegation list (Aug 2026) has no separate contact on file for the Village. Municipal Building: 444 Jefferson Street / PO Box 469, Linden, WI 53553; office hours Mon-Thu 8am-4pm.

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 Linden'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.
