This includes any building, construction of new buildings, field drives, agricultural use facilities and/or moving of buildings. For more information, please contact Chairman Chris Chambers (608)435-6852 or Clerk Dawn Pingel (608)343-7869 for any town permit questions.

Conditional Use Permits are issued by Monroe County but also need to be approved by the town board first. The town board will not approve any conditional use permit if you are in any violation with Monroe County Zoning.

They would also be able to tell you if you need a permit for burning.
