Additional Notes
Village Clerk is Shirley Kempen. IMPORTANT HEDGE: the Village of Catawba does NOT appear on the current WI DSPS 'Municipalities with Delegated Authority for the UDC' list (verified directly against UDCDelegatedMuni.pdf), unlike the neighboring Town of Catawba which is listed as Delegated. This suggests the Village has not been delegated UDC authority, meaning new one- and two-family dwelling permits/inspections there may be administered directly by the State (DSPS, 608-266-2112) or a state-registered UDC inspection agency rather than by the village itself. This should be confirmed directly with the Village Office or DSPS.
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 Catawba'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.
