Additional Notes

Confirmed on the Town's own Forms & Permits page, which names Atlas Inspections as UDC inspector but does not list a direct email for this town specifically (the Jon Mattson/Atlas Inspections email seen elsewhere, inspec10u@gmail.com, is confirmed for the nearby Town of Trade Lake but not independently verified for Trego). The DSPS UDC Delegated Municipalities PDF confirms Town of Trego (DOA code 65042) as Delegated (line 1240) but printed no contact name in that row. Town Clerk Patti Butterfield: (715) 520-2020, PO Box 21, Trego, WI 54888 (her email was obfuscated/unreadable on the town site); Town Chair: Paul Hartwig. Town is not part of Washburn County Zoning; shoreland zoning is handled by Washburn County Zoning Administration, 715-468-4690.

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 Trego'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.
