Other rules to know
- Town Zoning Ordinance (amended June 18, 2018) never mentions fences. Building setbacks: 50 ft from street centerline, 25 ft side, 10 ft rear (Sec. I.D); whether they apply to fences is not stated. The Town Board designates a Zoning Administrator (name not given); fees are set by Town Board resolution.
- The ordinance signature page lists Diane Hoyt as Town Clerk (2018); no phone or email was found.
- 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.
