Other rules to know
- The Town administers its own zoning (not Outagamie County zoning).
- Town Clerk: Scott Johnson, [email protected].
- The Town zoning ordinance lists fences as structures and Sec. 2.09(1) says no building or structure may be erected without a permit (from the Plan Commission or Town Building Inspector); permits lapse if work does not start within one year. It does not name fences in the permit section, so confirm with the inspector.
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.
