Drammen Town Board
New building project? Make sure to obtain the correct County permits!
If you are planning on new construction on your property make sure to have the correct County permits! It may be confusing on what types of permits you will need for certain projects but being prepared ahead of time will save you money in the long run. Any questions regarding what types of permits you will need please contact Eau Claire County Zoning Inspector at (715)-839-1660.
Line Fences:
There are certain rules when it comes to line fences in the Town of Drammen. These are covered in the state statutes Chapter 90. As the town becomes more urban it is important for property owners to understand their responsibilities. As this is not the complete listing of the law which affects line fences, it is a beginning.
- When is a fence required? WI Stat 90.03 requires a fence whenever a piece of property is used for farming or for grazing purposes. Whenever a fence is used for farming or grazing then the neighboring property owners must erect and maintain a fence in equal shares (even if you don’t own any livestock).
- The general rule for fence ownership is to stand on your land and face the fence the part on the right hand side is your property to be maintained.
Dogs Running At Large:
Dogs running at large are becoming a major problem which the Board has to deal with. It is the dog’s owner who is responsible for a dog off of the owner’s property. According to the ordinance the dog should have current vaccinations and a dog license purchased from the Town Treasurer. If your dog is running at large and is caught it would be taken to the Eau Claire Humane Society (715-839-4747). Appropriate fines may also be levied.
