County Zoning Permit Application

A TOWNSHIP BUILDING PERMIT IS NOT A COUNTY ZONING PERMIT!
​
Crawford County is not comprehensively zoned but does have Floodplain and Shoreland-Wetland Zoning Ordinances.
Federal, State, County, and local regulations STILL APPLY, especially near water!
PERMITS MUST BE SECURED PRIOR TO COMMENCING CONSTRUCTION OR SITE ACTIVITY OF ANY KIND!​ (Penalties apply)​

THERE IS A 75' SETBACK FOR IMPROVEMENTS and SITE WORK RESTRICTIONS WITHIN 300' OF A NAVIGABLE RIVER OR STREAM.
Many dry ditches, ravines, etc., are navigable; disputed navigability or ordinary high water mark determined by WI DNR.

ALL NEW DEVELOPMENT IN MAPPED FLOODPLAINS MUST HAVE:
     Elevation Certificate - required for zoning compliance (also National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), mortgages, etc.)
                                                    - must be completed by WI licensed professional engineer or surveyor
​     Foundation & Anchoring Plan - must be completed by WI licensed professional engineer or architect


Crawford County - administers ordinance in unincorporated areas - Townships administer additional ordinances
Cities and Villages - administer ordinances independently of the County
