Other rules to know

  • The Town website (aurorawisconsin.org) has a Forms and Permits section, but no fence or building permit details could be read.
  • DSPS lists Bob Christensen (715-297-6600, [email protected]) as the Town's Uniform Dwelling Code inspector.
  • Taylor County Zoning (715-748-1485) administers shoreland, floodplain, sanitary, subdivision and airport zoning; its Zoning page does not list a general county zoning ordinance for towns. Property near a lake or stream may need a county shoreland zoning permit.

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.
