While it is recommended that you check with Dane Co. Zoning and/or our Building Inspector, here are some general guidelines to follow. Any structure added to your property will first require a Dane Co. zoning permit BEFORE you apply for a local permit. This includes decks, garages, pools, garden sheds, etc. You must then apply locally for a building permit. Examples of building, remodeling or repairs that MAY NOT require a zoning permit include re-roofing, new windows, new furnace, electrical work, duct work, inside remodeling. These items STILL REQUIRE a local permit application. Permit fees are doubled if work is done before a permit is approved. Please contact our building inspector or Dane Co. Zoning (266-4266) with questions regarding these permits.
