Additional Notes
Wisconsin DSPS delegation list confirms this Town of Stella (Oneida County, DOA code 43032) as Delegated but lists no current contact/inspector name in the table. The town's own website names 'RC Inspection Agency LLC' as building inspector/zoning administrator at phone (715) 439-4222 — the identical phone number DSPS lists elsewhere for 'Rick Clem (RC Inspections)' serving many other Oneida County towns (rcinspectionrequests@gmail.com), strongly suggesting this is the same firm, though the email specifically for Stella was not independently confirmed. Office address (per town site): 8735 STH 47, Woodruff, WI 54568; mailing: PO Box 1141, Rhinelander, WI 54501; hours by appointment only.
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 Stella'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.
