Wood stove permits in Menomonee Falls.
Get an HVAC permit from the Village.
The Village of Menomonee Falls issues its own permits from Village Hall, W156 N8480 Pilgrim Road; call 262-532-4400 about building applications. The village’s HVAC permit application lists ‘misc. heating & ventilating equipment’ including manufactured fireplaces and wood-burning stoves as a per-unit item, asks for the contractor’s HVAC registration number, and requires at least 24 hours’ notice for inspections. Apply through the online Permit Portal, or fill in the PDF and mail a check; mailed permits aren’t processed until the check arrives. Ask the Building Inspection Division whether a new chimney, chase or hearth also needs a building permit.

Menomonee Falls HVAC permit application (PDF)Hiring out? Mind the bond warning.
Owners who pull a building permit in Menomonee Falls sign a Cautionary Statement required by Wisconsin law.

Ask any installer for proof of insurance first.
