Building Inspection
The Town is just one of the agencies that you would be dealing with. We deal with the fire/life-safety issues and the actual building construction.

We currently follow the State of Wisconsin Enrolled Commercial Building Code. The other agencies that need to be involved are: Kenosha County Planning & Zoning (262) 857-1895 and the Division of Health (262) 605-6700.
GFCI outlets are required in the following locations: bathrooms, garages, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, and kitchens within 6 feet of wet bar sinks. These rules are applicable to dwelling units. Other than dwelling units GFCIs are required in bathrooms, rooftops, commercial garages, and repair areas. If you need further clarification please call the Building Inspector at 262-857-2368. He is in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
