The Code Enforcement Department has the office of the inspectors and code enforcement officers. All projects that have received a permit require inspections that are the responsibility of the contractors to schedule.

The City of Wisconsin Rapids is a delegated agent for commercial building code enforcement. We have primary responsibility to do plan review and inspections of small commercial building projects to be constructed within the limits of the municipality (new buildings and their additions totaling not more then 50,000 cubic feet and alterations affecting 100,000 cubic feet or less).
