Full Breakdown
The Village of Little Chute regulates building height by zoning district rather than a single town-wide cap. In the RC conventional single-family district, home to most detached houses, the maximum height is 35 feet or 2½ stories. The newer RD dense modern single-family district caps homes lower, at 30 feet (two stories), while multifamily buildings in the RM district can reach 55 feet and four stories. A zoning permit under § 44-462 is required before construction, and exceeding the applicable height limit is enforceable as a zoning violation under § 44-466.
Violations & Fines
Building above the district height cap without approval violates § 44-466; the village may enjoin construction or order the structure altered, with forfeitures for each day it continues.
