Other rules to know
- Town Comprehensive Plan (2020-2030): the Town 'has adopted the zoning regulations of the Taylor County Zoning Department' and is 'primarily regulated by county zoning', with some Town rules for lake-lot building setbacks, subdivisions, driveway access and small parcel divisions. It does not mention fences.
- The plan says the Town requires permits for new structures, and for remodeling of existing structures over $5,000; it does not say whether fences count.
- The Town website has a Permits & Licenses page that could not be opened.
- 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.
