Other rules to know

  • Town website: 'A permit is required for any new structure' before construction; standard permit fee $50, with a $200 late fee if bought after building starts. Contact Town Chairman Adolph Pichler for permit information. Fences are not mentioned, so a fence permit requirement is not confirmed.
  • Town office: W1155 County Rd R, Mondovi, WI 54755. Whether the town has its own zoning is not stated.
  • Pepin County has no general county zoning: its Zoning page says five townships have their own zoning (not named there) and that Durand, Village of Pepin and Village of Stockholm administer zoning locally. County ordinances apply countywide only for sanitary, floodplain and shoreland/wetland rules; highway setbacks (Ch. 21) in Towns of Lima, Pepin and Stockholm and bluffland (Ch. 19) in Towns of Pepin and Stockholm. The page does not mention fences.

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.
