Other rules to know
- The Village zoning code (Ch. 560, on eCode360 FR3036) says no structure may be located or erected without a zoning permit, but the text read does not say whether a fence is a structure; fence rules were not found.
- On corner lots nothing may be erected or planted that materially impedes vision, measured from 2 1/2 feet above street grade within a 25-foot triangle.
- The Village building code adopts permit fees set by the Village Board, on file with the Clerk-Treasurer.
- Building permit applications are online forms (JotForm) on the Village's Building Inspector page.
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.
