Fence permits in unincorporated Dane County are generally not required for standard agricultural or residential fences, but Zoning Compliance Review may be needed in some districts.
Dane County does not universally require building permits for residential fences in unincorporated areas, unlike many cities. In residential zoning districts, a Zoning Compliance Review may be required for fences in setback areas or exceeding height limits. Fences along county highways require review from the Dane County Highway Department to ensure sight-line compliance. Contact Dane County Planning (608-266-4266) to confirm requirements for your specific location.
Fences installed without required zoning review in applicable districts may result in compliance orders from Dane County Planning.
