Other rules to know

  • The Town has its own zoning (Kewaunee County lists a Town Zoning Administrator) but no Town website or zoning ordinance text was found online, so fence rules are unknown.
  • Kewaunee County's Floodplain Zoning Ordinance applies in all unincorporated areas, and the County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance covers land near lakes, rivers and waterways; for property near water, also check with Kewaunee County Land & Water Conservation (920-845-9747).

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.
