Other rules to know

  • The Town has its own zoning ordinance (revised 2-17-25). Section 15.3 requires a land use permit from the Zoning Administrator for a building or structure with a cost or value of $5000 or more; it does not mention fences. Section 13.3 lists open fences as allowed within setback lines and vision triangles.
  • In shoreland and floodplain areas, a county permit and a Town land use permit are both required.

Before you dig

Call Diggers Hotline at 811 (or file online at diggershotline.com) at least 3 business days before digging post holes. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
