Additional Notes

DSPS UDC delegated-municipality list shows Delegated status but leaves the municipal contact/inspector fields blank. The town's own website lists phone 608-566-4628 and mailing address W6180 School Road, Pardeeville WI 53954, but does not name the current clerk and masks its email on the page. A separate, possibly outdated Columbia County directory record names a clerk 'Dawn Bush' with a different phone (608-429-4072) and address (N9875 Dalton Rd, Pardeeville) -- clerk identity/currency is uncertain given the conflicting sources, so no name is asserted here; confirm directly.

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 Marcellon'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.
