Building Permits and Inspections
Building Inspection Department |
The Building Inspections Department issues building permits and provides the necessary inspections as required by the State of Wisconsin through the enforcement of the various building codes. The department also oversees Zoning Ordinance compliance throughout the City of New Richmond.
** Due to the high volume of permit requests, we cannot guarantee a turn-around time for your building permit to be processed. ** Permit applications are processed in the order they are received.
Our inspectors are in and out of the office on a daily basis on field inspections. Please call ahead if you wish to stop by the office and speak with an inspector in person.
It is our goal to provide timely inspections and helpful customer service. We are happy to assist you with any questions related to construction or home improvement projects. We urge you to obtain a permit and have your work inspected for compliance. Not only are you following the law, you are protecting your family, friends and neighbors.
