Other rules to know
- Town of Viroqua has its own zoning ordinance (Rev. December 2017). Its only fence rule (Art. VI, Sec. F.6.c): parcels for development in the R-Residential district must be fenced with a legal fence (Wis. Stat. ch. 90) on boundary lines unless the owners mutually agree otherwise and file the agreement with the Town Clerk.
- A building permit (from the Town Clerk) is required to build, renovate or move a building costing over $1,000, and a building site permit before excavation or construction of any building or structure; fences are not specifically mentioned. No fee is stated.
- Not the City of Viroqua.
- Vernon County has no countywide zoning (it administers shoreland, floodplain, wetland and sanitary rules in unincorporated areas, 608-637-5270); its Land & Water Reference Guide says to contact the Town Chairman about building permits and fencing laws.
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.
