Additional Notes
Confirmed via DSPS delegated list (line 743, 'Delegated', contact fields blank there) and the town's own website. The town requires its own local building permit, administered by contracted inspector Dennis Butteris of General Engineering Co. (GEC) — reach him by cell at 608-617-1216 (no published email; he does not hold office hours at the town hall). Sauk County Planning & Zoning (608-355-3245) land-use permit is also required before the town building permit. This is a DISTINCT government from the Village of La Valle (also Sauk County, separate entry in this batch).
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 La Valle'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.
