Grant County fence permit rules

Fence rules in Grant County are set by each city, village and town, not by the state. Pick your municipality for height limits, setbacks, fees, step-by-step filing instructions and the person to call.

Some towns in Grant County follow the county zoning ordinance instead of their own. Those are covered under Grant County Zoning (towns under county zoning).
