Other rules to know

  • The Town website (townofwestboro.com) has Land Use, Town Ordinances and Permits and Applications pages, but they could not be opened (redirect loop).
  • 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.
