Additional Notes

Confirmed as UDC-delegated on Wisconsin DSPS's August 19, 2026 list, but DSPS left the municipal-contact and inspector fields blank for this entry. The town's own website names Rebecca Richardson as Clerk with a mailing address of N112 760th Street, Durand, WI 54736, but publishes no phone number or email for her -- both left null here rather than guessed. The town has an adopted building-permit ordinance and a UDC-adopting ordinance (per its 2007 Comprehensive Plan), and Dunn County Planning & Zoning Division (715-231-6520, pandz@dunncountywi.gov) separately handles county zoning permits and can likely direct inquiries to the current UDC inspector.

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 Peru'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.
