A MESSAGE FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS REVIEW APPRAISER, WILLIAM MADDENS
As of now, the St. Paul VA Regional Loan Center no longer requires termite inspections/treatment in any county in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is fully exempt alongside North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Previously, certain counties still had to obtain termite inspections/treatment. This is a recent change and the VA website may still indicate that certain counties in Wisconsin require treatment.

Click here to see the VA Circular 26-22-11 explaining this change.
