Chippewa County fence permit rules

Fence rules in Chippewa County are set by each city, village and town, not by the state. Pick your municipality for height limits, setbacks, fees, step-by-step filing instructions and the person to call.

Some towns in Chippewa County follow the county zoning ordinance instead of their own. Those are covered under Chippewa County zoning (county-zoned towns).
