Door County, WI — County-Administered Permits

Permit types Door County administers directly — mainly unincorporated areas and towns without their own building department

How permitting works in Door County

Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (SPS 320–325) applies statewide to 1- & 2-family dwellings; municipalities (or their contracted UDC inspectors) administer it locally. Commercial buildings follow SPS 361–366 with DSPS or delegated plan review. Zoning, fences, signs, and right-of-way work are regulated by local ordinance; shoreland/floodplain standards flow from NR 115/116 via county and municipal ordinances.

Verified official form

Official filing happens through City Squared (https://www.citysquared.com/#/app/DoorCountyWI/landing); the county provides no submission API, so this prefill is a preparation aid, not a filing. Plan-set items (site plan, floor plans, two elevation views, cross-section for new principal buildings) must be attached in the portal.
