- Crawford County is not comprehensively zoned, but County Sanitation & Zoning (608-326-0294) requires shoreland permits within 300 ft of a navigable stream or 1,000 ft of a lake, and floodplain permits; a town building permit is not a county 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.
