Planning and Community Development

The City of Delafield contracts to third party vendors for Planning, Inspection, and Engineering services.

​​For planning and general "where do I begin?" queries, please start with the City Planner.

​If you would like information about smaller projects such as fences, swimming pools, single family residential home additions, etc., please call the City Building Inspector.

​If you already have a plan in place and need to fine tune building plans or storm water agreements, please call our City Engineer.

​Any fees incurred from the third party vendors may pass through to the applicant. The
