1. What requires a Building Permit?

All types of construction in Lisbon require a permit. This includes, but is not limited to, additions, remodeling, sheds, decks, pools and any interior remodeling. Permitting is also required for a service upgrade or replacement, window and roof replacement, water heater, furnace and air conditioner replacement.

In an emergency situation, a licensed contractor should do the work, and then obtain your permit as soon as practical. Please contact the Building Inspector if you have more questions.

Along with the application, two copies of plans must be submitted, as well as two copies of your property survey with the improvement shown on the survey, if your improvement is outside the home. If you do not have a copy of your property survey, please call or email Village Hall and they can check to see if they have one on file for you. If they do not, they can generate a to-scale GIS map for you.

If the improvement is out of the home (exterior) and have a mound or septic system, please contact Waukesha County Health Department for a Preliminary Site Evaluation at 262-896-8300.
