Residents Affected By Flooding
Electrical equipment exposed to water can be extremely hazardous. Water and other contaminants cause corrosion in electrical devices which can spread slowly and is not immediately apparent. It is recommended that all electrical equipment and wiring exposed to flood water be replaced by a licensed electrician. For more information please see "Evaluating Water-Damaged Electrical Equipment" by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association and "Floods and Electrical" by the Underwriters Laboratory. If you have any questions please call the Building Inspection Department at (262) 268-4277. Thinking Of Remodeling Or Building?
Why do Permits protect my home? Permits ensure that a certified building inspector inspects the construction project or installation. Inspections help make sure work is done safely and to code. When a city inspector approves work, you can ask questions from an expert and know that the work has been checked for safety violations. This is of particular value to the do-it-yourselfer who doesn't make installations every day. Incorrect installations can result in house fires, flood damage, and/or structural problems. Protect Yourself!
Here's what homeowners can do to protect themselves: Insist on permits! It simply doesn't pay to cut corners when it comes to your biggest financial asset - your home. For the homeowner or residential contractor this site is intended to provide a starting place for information and answers to questions such as, do I need a permit or what will the permit cost? Additionally you will find information on common residential construction projects and zoning concerns. Please see the Resources section to the right for more information. For the commercial contractor or property owner we have made available information on permit requirements, fees, and forms as well as links to various construction and zoning codes. Contact Us
Don't assume or guess, call the Inspection Department if you have any questions.
