Milwaukee County, WI
Glendale is a Community Core and SafeBuilt profile, not a plain forms directory. Permit submittals are not complete until all forms, three sets of building plans when required, documents, and fees are submitted. The city publishes fillable applications, a Permit Fee Schedule, GIS Maps, and a Floodplain Development Permit, while residential new one- and two-family permits must use Wisconsin's electronic building permit format.
