Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
Ask the agency for its current review estimate
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.
Application documents
Before submission, call 608-328-9423 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.

Call Green County Zoning at 608-328-9423 for an appointment to obtain the county permit and coordinate the department's field review; the preliminary fire number is subject to field verification. UDC/building inspections are scheduled with the inspector serving the specific town, listed at https://www.greencountywi.org/DocumentCenter/View/186/Town-Building-Inspectors-PDF, after the county zoning permit is issued.
Green County Code Title 4 zoning, shoreland, floodplain, sanitary, and subdivision regulations and Title 9 sanitary-code provisions. Under section 4-6-1-6, the county administers the required new one- and two-family dwelling permit application for municipalities under 2,500 population that have requested county administration; construction-code review and inspections remain with the applicable town UDC inspector under Wisconsin SPS 320-325. Some towns also require a separate town building permit. No county zoning permit is required for maintenance repairs regardless of cost, or for improvements or alterations that do not change use, encroach on a required yard/open space, increase square footage, or make a structural change. A nonresidential accessory or farm structure of 99 square feet or less also needs no permit if it meets all setbacks, yard, and open-space requirements. Other county, sanitary, shoreland, floodplain, driveway, town, and UDC approvals may still apply.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
