Additional Notes
Confirmed 'Delegated' on the WI DSPS Municipalities with Delegated UDC Authority PDF (entry #635, Town of Greenwood, Vernon County (62016)). DSPS lists Clerk Mary Stanek (email clerk@tn.greenwood.wi.gov, no phone given) and UDC Inspector Jeremy Phillis of General Engineering Company at the firm's main line 608-742-2169 / gec@generalengineering.net. A separate web search surfaced what may be Phillis's direct line, 608-697-7807 / jphillis@generalengineering.net — both numbers are included as a hedge since the source could not be cross-verified against the DSPS PDF. Clerk phone 608-553-0964 is from web search, not the DSPS PDF. Do not confuse with the unrelated Town of Greenwood in Taylor County (also in this batch) or the unrelated City of Greenwood in Clark County (researched separately).
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 Greenwood'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.
