What to submit
Other rules to know
- Harrison is not on the list of towns under Lincoln County zoning on the Town of Russell's zoning page, and the Town Board agendas for August and September 2026 list a 'Zoning Advisory Referendum for ballot' (the question asks whether the Town should adopt the Lincoln County Zoning Ordinance, on the November 3, 2026 ballot). The result was not checked.
- The Town issues its own building permits: its Licenses/Permits page lists a Building Permit Application with a $30.00 fee, and its ordinance list includes Construction Permit Ordinance 01-2019. Neither could be read, so it is not known whether fences need this permit.
- The Town's ordinance list includes Resolution 2022-03 on a Lincoln County shoreland zoning amendment for bridges, fences and view and access corridors.
- 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. 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.
