Other rules to know

  • Village Zoning Administrator Committee minutes (May 21, 2024) say the ordinance allows a "6 foot privacy fence"; a business owner needed a variance to build a taller fence on a lot next to his business. The Village fence ordinance text itself was not found online.
  • The County Directory lists Jane Meissner as the Village Building Inspector.

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.
