Additional Notes

Confirmed via WI DSPS delegated-authority PDF: Village of Warrens, Monroe County (DOA 41185), status 'Delegated'; DSPS lists Village Clerk Kris Oakes at 608-378-4188, kriso@villageofwarrens.com (no inspector named in the DSPS row). The Village's own website separately lists a general Village Office line of 608-378-4177 / info@villageofwarrens.com and names the Building Inspector as Kent Erickson of General Engineering Company (608-697-7774, kerickson@generalengineering.net) — the two clerk phone numbers differ by one digit (4177 vs 4188) across sources and could not be fully reconciled; both are recorded here as a hedge rather than dropped. Village Hall: 301 Main Street, PO Box 97, Warrens, WI 54666.

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 Warrens'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.
