Additional Notes
Distinct government from the Town of New Glarus (also Green County) -- verified separately. Per WI DSPS's current UDC-delegated-authority list (line 1617, DOA code 23161), Village Clerk Lynne Erb (608-527-5973, ngclerk@newglarusvillage.com) is the listed municipal contact; the certified-inspector field is blank on that current record. HEDGE: an older DSPS delegated-agent snapshot named Michael Fenley (Total Inspection Services, 608-963-0652, totalinspectionservices@gmail.com) as the Village's certified UDC inspector -- his engagement as of today is unconfirmed since he is absent from the current list. No online permit portal was found; applications are handled through the Village Clerk's office. Village Hall general line: 608-527-2510, 319 2nd Street, New Glarus, WI 53574.
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 New Glarus'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.
