Additional Notes

Wisconsin DSPS delegation list confirms this Town of Stark (Vernon County, DOA code 62030) as Delegated but lists no current contact name in the table. The town's own FAQ page names Zoning Administrator Kay Mick, listed there at (608) 625-4449 (one other independent search result gave a differing number, 608-632-0250, for the same person — flagged as a possible discrepancy/stale number), and Building Inspector Wayne Haugrud at 608-606-3872. Wayne Haugrud is separately confirmed by the DSPS list as the UDC inspector for the neighboring Town of Webster, also Vernon County (haugs@mwt.net), which supports this identification for Stark as well, though his email specifically for Stark is not independently confirmed. Town Hall: S3803 Corps Road, La Farge, WI 54639; mailing PO Box 147, La Farge, WI 54639; permit fee $100 (single-family) / $50 (other buildings/additions). This Town of Stark is a distinct, unrelated Vernon County government from the Town of Sterling (Vernon County), listed separately below — do not confuse.

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 Stark'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.
