Other rules to know
- No Town of Lima (Pepin County) website or clerk contact was found; searches return the Town of Lima in Sheboygan County, which is a different town. County Zoning enforces highway setbacks (Ch. 21) in this town: a land use permit is required before erecting, moving or structurally altering a structure, with setbacks of 63 ft from town road centerlines, 75 ft from county road centerlines and 110 ft from state highway centerlines; whether a fence is a 'structure' there 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.
