New! Apply ONLINE for Building Permits

NEW! Online Application Process For Building Permit

The Village of Holmen contracts with General Engineering Company (GEC) for building inspection services, and we are excited to announce that contractors and homeowners can now request permits online with GEC’s online permit application.

This electronic permit application is set up to assist contractors and homeowners by requesting only relevant information associated to the permit they are applying for. Applicants have the option of completing this permit application and submit related documents online anytime day or night.

How To Apply For A Permit Online
First, start your online permit application HERE. Have an electronic (PDF) copy of the following (if applicable for your type of project):

• Construction Plans
• Building Permit Addendum
• Plumbing/Sewer Hook-up Permit
• Application for Unmetered Services
• Driveway/Sidewalk Construction Permit
• Elevation and Drainage Plan
• Erosion Control Plan and Checklist
• Braced Wall Plan – If not on Construction Plans (New Home)
• Heat Calcs (New Home)

During the application process, you will be able to upload any plans and other required documents needed for your project. Once you have started the permit application you will receive an email with a link in case you need to return and complete the process later.

After you have finished filling out the form and it has been submitted, you will then receive another email confirming it has been submitted for review. If you do not receive the second email confirming its been submitted, this means it is still in draft form and may have missing information. Please use the link in the first email you received to go back into your application and verify that all required boxes are checked as complete.

What Happens After Application is Submitted?
After you have submitted your online permit application, the Building Inspector will review it. He/she will accept for further processing or request more information if necessary. Once accepted, the Inspector will complete detailed review and follow-up with remaining questions.

Once approved, you will be notified with an email from our office that your permit is ready and the payment amount owed. As a reminder, no work should begin until you have an approved permit card.

Paying For A Permit
Payments can be made by check and may be mailed or placed in the drop box located outside the Village Hall.
