Other rules to know
- Shoreland areas (within 1,000 ft of a navigable lake, pond or flowage, or 300 ft of a navigable river or stream) fall under Clark County shoreland rules (County Code Ch. 22): privacy, security and open fences need a 3 foot setback from the property line for maintenance access and a 75 foot setback from the ordinary high-water mark; post-and-wire agriculture fences need no property-line setback. Fences may be within highway setback lines but not in the highway right-of-way (Secs. 22-308, 22-360, 22-362). Ch. 22 does not say whether a fence needs a county land use permit; ask Clark County Planning & Zoning, 715-743-5130.
- Clark County Planning & Zoning says the county has 'a mosaic of county and town zoning' and asks owners to contact the department (715-743-5130) to find out which zoning applies to a property.
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.
