Other rules to know
- The Village's Building Inspector/Permits page says to contact Zoning Administrator Ken Eilers first; he evaluates zoning for each project and may issue the permit or refer you to Building Inspector Dan Hansen. Fences are not mentioned.
- "Penalties apply for not obtaining a permit." Village Ordinance 3.0 (Zoning) and 2000.10 (Uniform Dwelling Code) apply but are not posted online.
- Village Treasurer Heather Gehrt: 715-459-3336, [email protected] (Wood County Directory, July 28, 2026). The Directory prints the Clerk email as [email protected], which does not match the Village's vi.hewitt.wi.gov domain, so it is left out.
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.
