Town of Omro

Chapter 77 states every person who constructs, enlarges, alters, improves, moves, razes, demolishes, or removes a building or structure with value over $1,000 must obtain a building permit before work starts.

Building code

Chapter 77 expressly says the town has not adopted building codes including the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code and the ordinance is informational rather than a safety code.

Contractor requirements

Chapter 77 states the town has not adopted the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code and does not inspect for code compliance, so applicants remain responsible for county, state, and federal compliance.
