Building Inspection
The Department of Building Inspection (located within the Plover Fire Department) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of Building, Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical and Zoning Codes. The primary purpose of these codes is to safeguard life. The secondary purpose is to protect and generally preserve and to enhance the values of property in the Village.
The Village of Plover is a Delegated Municipality for commercial building plan review and inspections for new commercial buildings (up to 50,000 Cubic Feet) and commercial building additions/alterations (up to 100,000 Cubic Feet). The Village of Plover is delegated Per SPS 361.60(5)(c) to do plan review of small commercial building projects and authorization per s.101.23(3)(g), Wis. Stats., to do inspections of all size buildings in lieu of the Department (DSPS).
All commercial electrical and plumbing permits, plan review, and inspections are to be done through the State of WI, DSPS or designee. Please follow the links below for more information. The Village of Plover will collect all contractor information for all trade venues to keep on file for the affected property.
