How permitting works in Glendale
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.

Residential Building Permit Application (R - Building)
Verified official formOfficial City of Glendale residential building permit application (Building Inspection Department, 5909 North Milwaukee River Pkwy., Glendale, WI 53209; 414-228-1708). Inspections are required before any work is concealed, when work is complete, and prior to ANY occupancy or use, with at least 24 hours notice (appointments via SAFEbuilt, 262-420-4732 / WIinspections@safebuilt.com). The permit EXPIRES 18 months from issuance or where work has not commenced or has ceased for 90 days; final inspections are mandatory and penalties are charged for failure to call for inspections. Estimated cost must not include plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work (those trades pull separate permits). GovCodex output is a planning aid, not permit approval.
