Other rules to know
- Town General Zoning Ordinance 2014-01 has no fence provisions; the Town Board administers it. Accessory-building side yard is 30 ft, rear yard 50 ft, front yard 75 ft from town road centerline (Sec. 8, Subd. 2); whether these apply to fences is not stated. Conditional use application fee is $100 to the Town Clerk.
- The clerk named in the ordinance copy (2014) is Patty Schaar, 715-448-2146, [email protected]; confirm she is still clerk.
- County Zoning also enforces highway setbacks (Ch. 21) and bluffland rules (Ch. 19) here.
- 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.
