Building Inspection Department

The Building Inspection Department manages the process of residential and commercial construction projects.  The requirements for obtaining a permit are for the benefit of the property owner.  The process begins with permit application, review and issuance.  The Building Inspector performs field inspections for compliance of these building codes and standards to provide for the health and safety of all occupants.  The process is completed with final inspection and the issuance of an occupancy permit when applicable.

Assessment

The building inspector has the statutory duty to value all taxable real and personal property in the City of Antigo for ad valorem tax purposes while maintaining a level of assessment that is within ten percent of the statutory required "Full Market Value."  "Full Market Value" is the cash price a property would bring in a competitive and open market.
