Other rules to know
- The Town of Birch is not on the list of towns under Lincoln County zoning on the Town of Russell's zoning page, and the Lincoln County Comprehensive Plan (2012-2021) says Birch and Rock Falls do not have zoning. No town fence ordinance was found online.
- The Lincoln County Shoreland Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 21) applies in all unincorporated areas, so fences near lakes, rivers or wetlands may need county review; call Lincoln County Land Services (715-539-1087).
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.
