If you need foundation repair in Racine, the city's general alteration permit is the posted form we found, though it doesn't mention foundations.
Racine's alteration permit
Racine's General Building Alteration permit charges $14 per $1,000 of renovation cost, with a $100 minimum, and residential applicants supply the contractor's DC and DCQ numbers [1]. The form warns that work done without permits may result in double permit fees, but it doesn't mention foundation repair [1].
