Application Process

Before a permit is issued, applicants must complete a Building Permit, present plans to the Building Inspector, appear before the Building Board (if work is done to the exterior of the property), and pay the appropriate fee. There is a minimum fee of $70 for a building permit.

After a permit has been submitted, you may view the issued permit in the Property Files. Please allow one week from date of submission for update of file. **It is only necessary to enter the house address when searching the Property File; no street name is needed.**

New Construction (One and Two-Family Homes) **Do not fill this permit out for any remodeling**

2015 Wisconsin Act 211 is requiring online applications utilizing the State’s electronic permit system. This will be required to be done before the village will accept permit applications. 

The online application submittal by the contractor is available at WI Dept of Saftey and Professional Services.
