Little Chute's rules on structural work
The village lists structural alterations among the work that needs a permit [1]. Its 2026 inspection department brochure says a permit is needed before starting any new construction, repairs, additions, alterations or demolitions [2].
The village also spells out who can pull that permit. If the owner does not live in the dwelling, the person pulling building permits must hold the state Dwelling Contractor and Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credentials [1]. The village puts this under house flipping, so an investor fixing a foundation before resale can't pull it as a homeowner.
What the permit costs
The 2026 residential fee schedule lists remodeling at $50 plus $5 per $1,000 of cost, capped at $600 [2]. The village doesn't name a separate line for foundation work, so ask the Building Inspector which category applies. The office number is (920) 423-3871 [1].
Permits can be applied for online, by email or in person, and the village takes cash or check only [1].
Statewide credential, frost and Diggers Hotline rules are on our how it works page, and national figures are in the cost guide.
