Building Permit Information - Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural & Multi-Family
All commercial properties must go through plan review first from E-Plan Exams or State before submitting to the City of Mequon for a building permit. If you have any questions about this, please contact Karen Heil at 262-236-2924.
The City of Mequon follows the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services -- Commercial Building Administrative Code.
The following items need to be submitted to obtain a building permit:
- Building Permit Application (see attachment)
- Three sets of the original State approved plans that have the "red" stamp or electronic stamp on the cover page. Also, the State Approval Letter must be stapled to the front page of the plans.
- Commercial Zoning Form (see attachment)
Once you submit the application and plans, allow 1-2 weeks for the permit to be issued. No work should be started until the permit has been issued.
For new commercial or additions, contact the Engineering Department for Erosion Control Permit - 262-236-2934
The following inspections are required:
- Erosion/Graveled drive
- Footings
- Foundation walls
- Column pads
