Building Permits and Inspections

The City’s Building Inspection Department is responsible for issuing permits, conducting inspections, enforcing the zoning code, and providing staff support to the City Plan Commission. The goal of the Department is to provide professional and cost-effective inspection services that will ensure that our homes and businesses are constructed correctly and with quality materials in order to preserve public safety and neighborhood property values. The City contracts with Kunkel Engineering Group to provide Building Inspection services.  There is no expense to the City for building inspection services because the fee paid to the firm is 80 percent of the revenues collected. The City pays them no other fee and keeps the remaining 20 percent of the revenues.

A building permit is needed for a variety of building projects. Some examples of projects that would need a building permit are:
  • Building an addition on your house or garage
  • Building a garage
  • Building a deck
  • New electrical wiring or service upgrade
  • Installing a new furnace or A/C
  • Remodeling your house
  • Installing new siding, soffit or fascia
  • Installing new windows and/or doors in your house
  • New plumbing including water heaters
  • Changing the pitch of your roof or reroofing
  • Installing a fence

The City contracts with Kunkel Engineering for building and inspection services.  John Lust serves as the primary point of contact for the City.  His office hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00am-11:30am at City Hall.  He can also be reached by phone at (920) 210-6351 or by email at [email protected].  

Please check with the building inspector or City Hall if you are unsure whether you need a building permit. Building permits must be obtained before starting your project or the fees will be doubled. Please allow up to 10 days for permit review. Permits are non-refundable.
