The requirements for obtaining a permit is for the benefit of the property owner.  There are code requirements which must be followed for each trade involved in a project.  These code requirements have been developed by the State of Wisconsin to provide for the health and safety of all occupants within the building.  The Village of Pulaski has elected to supervise these requirements through the Inspections Department by requiring permits and inspections of all ongoing projects. Once a permit has been issued for a trade, the Inspections Department will then perform continuing inspections on the project to verify that the code requirements have been met.

When the project is completed, a final inspection will be made to verify that the work was done according to the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Codes and that there would be no affects to the health or safety of the occupants.  Please contact the Building Inspector if you have any questions.
