Other rules to know
- The Windsor Zoning Ordinance requires a zoning permit for any new building, structure or paved surface (Sec. 52-101(12)(b)) but exempts minor residential improvements and lets the Zoning Administrator exempt other activities; fences are not named either way.
- The Village Building Inspection page lists fences under its online Accessory Structure permit application ('shed, fence, pool, gazebo, deck...'); all applications are completed online.
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.
