Other rules to know
- The Town of Upham is not under Langlade County general zoning: the County's 2022 zoning GIS metadata lists 13 other towns under county zoning and says the remaining townships do not fall under County Zoning (shoreland standards still apply). No town zoning ordinance, fence rule or building permit rule was found online.
- The Town website has Forms & Permits and Ordinances pages, but they could not be opened, so it is unknown whether the Town has its own fence or building permit rules.
- Treasurer Tim Murphy: (715) 219-0551.
- County shoreland zoning applies in every town, zoned or not (shoreland areas within 300 ft of the ordinary high water mark of a stream or 1000 ft of a lake). The County shoreland rules say buildings and other structures need a permit unless the ordinance expressly excludes them; fences are not listed as excluded, though fences for pasturing livestock are allowed in the shoreland-wetland district. Call Land Records & Regulations (715-627-6206) before fencing shoreland 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.
