Where to Apply for Building Permits in Wisconsin
Milwaukee sits on the western shore of Lake Michigan, where the Menomonee, Kinnickinnic and Milwaukee rivers meet. It earned the nickname “Cream City” for the cream-colored brick made from local clay. Summerfest on the lakefront is one of the world’s largest music festivals. Neighborhoods such as the Historic Third Ward, Walker’s Point, Bay View and the East Side have seen major revitalization.
Milwaukee homes and siding projects: Milwaukee is known for its “Polish flats,” two-family homes with the units stacked one above the other. Its older neighborhoods are full of cream brick and wood-frame homes that are more than a century old. Lake Michigan brings wind, humidity and lake-enhanced snow, especially near the shore. For siding, that means a proper weather-resistant barrier, flashing around every opening and materials that won’t crack in cold snaps.
Nearby and permits: Milwaukee borders Wauwatosa, West Allis, Greenfield, Brown Deer, Mequon and many other communities across Milwaukee County. City of Milwaukee residential permits are handled by the Department of Neighborhood Services Permit & Development Center, 809 N. Broadway, 1st Floor ((414) 286-8210, Monday–Friday 8:00 AM–4:30 PM).
What we do most in Milwaukee: We most often help Milwaukee homeowners with siding replacements on older wood-frame homes.
