Towns to inspect homes for damage

Janesville Gazette

ROCK COUNTY — Homeowners outside of Janesville and Beloit who have to repair or rebuild their homes damaged by flooding will need to get permission from the county to do so.


The county will review inspections from town building officials and estimates from contractors to determine who can rebuild. If homeowners get the county’s permission to rebuild, then they can apply to their towns for building permits.


The worst damage took place in Fulton and Milton townships, said Scott Heinig, Rock County planning director.
