Building Structures
Steps to follow before building – allow a minimum of 3 weeks:
1) FROM THE TOWNSHIP - Apply for Land Use Permit for any structure. The cost of the permit is determined by the size of the structure. Contact the Zoning Administrator for the permit.
2) FROM THE COUNTY PLANNING & ZONING DEPT. - Apply for 911 Number, Well Permit, Erosion Control Permit & Septic System.
3) DRIVEWAY PERMITS - Driveways off a Town Road –are issued by the Zoning Administrator. Driveways off a County Road – are issued by the County. The fine for building without a permit is 2 times the original permit fee.
All forms can be found under Forms and Permits
No, you do not need a permit to reroof, reside, or replace windows in a structure.
Licenses and Permits
Burning Permits are required in the entire Township. If you start a fire without a permit you are subject to a fine. Even with a valid permit, you are liable for any damages and fire fighting costs incurred. More information regarding burning permits can be found under the Burning Permit tab on the left side of the web page.
The State of Wisconsin requires ALL dogs to be licensed. The Licensing Form is located under Forms and Permits. Most taxpayers license their dogs at the time they pay their tax bill. Dog licenses for new dogs can be purchased from the Town Treasurer any time during the year. Complete the form found under Forms and Permits and mail to the Treasurer along with the fee and current rabies information. A dog tag will then be issued to you.
Yes, if this is a structure that is erected for your use and has a value of $1,000 or more. A structure is anything constructed or erected the use of which requires location on the ground or that it be attached to something having a location on the ground, but not including utility lines and their normal accessary equipment (definition of structure, page 3 of the Town of Bloomer Zoning, Land Use, and Building Ordinance). Even though it may seem portable and moveable, this is not a factor in the determination of whether a permit is required or not. It is an improvement to real estate property. This definition also applies to structures on wheels or skids.
A land use/building permit is required at any point that you are making an improvement to your property (ie: decorative/privacy fence, addition, alteration, dwelling, barn, shed, garage, basement, etc.) valued at $5,000 or more. Please refer to page 41, Chapter 13.3 of the Town of Bloomer Zoning Ordinance). For zoning purposes, a building and structure are the same.
