Fond du Lac's permit rule
The city's Building Inspections page says a permit is required for interior and exterior alterations and "all other improvement and/or repairs" [1].
There is some room for small jobs. Permits for minor alterations or maintenance repairs may be waived by the City Building Inspector [1]. Don't assume a structural repair counts as minor. The city asks you to call the Building Inspection office at (920) 322-3570 to verify whether a permit is needed [1].
Inspections to expect
The city's list of required inspections includes footing inspections and building foundation inspections [1]. If your repair involves new footings for posts or work on the foundation itself, ask the contractor which inspections they will schedule and when.
Fond du Lac has adopted the state building codes, and its municipal code adds its own building and property maintenance rules [1].
For the state credential, frost depth and digging rules, see how it works. National prices are in the cost guide.
