Building permits must be issued by an inspector. If an inspector is available, the permit, except for new homes, will be issued at that time in most cases. All permitted work must begin within six months of issuance. Permits are good from one to two years, length of time being dependant on the project.
Chapter 16 of the Village Municipal Code details when a permit is required. No work requiring a permit may be performed prior to obtaining the necessary permits. Anyone performing such work before a permit is issued may be subject to penalties. Ultimately, the property owner is responsible for ensuring all necessary permits have been issued.
The Village Municipal Code is available for viewing on our website. Chapter 16 is the Building Code. Chapter 18 will have the appropriate setbacks for the different zoning classifications. This link details the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code.
