Milwaukee, WI
Permit and Development Center (Department of Neighborhood Services)
How permitting works in Wisconsin
Wisconsin cities are the primary permitting authorities for residential construction (1- and 2-family dwellings). The city's role is to manage these smaller projects, while the city often shares the role with the state for larger, more complex commercial developments.
State controls commercial; locals control residential.
