In addition to town issued Zoning Permits, which authorize the placement of specific structures within specific zoning districts in the town, the State of Wisconsin also requires the issuance of Building Permits for the construction or remodeling of structures containing one or more dwelling units which are defined as:
Dwelling unit: A structure or a portion thereof that is arranged, designed, used or intended for use for human habitation, by one or more persons maintaining one common household, to the exclusion of all other persons. It includes without limitation because of enumeration, mobile homes and dwelling areas above a garage.
The town Zoning Administrator does not issue building permits and does not perform building inspections. The Town of St. Germain has contracted with a state certified "Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC)" inspection agency to provide those services.
