Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Verdon, South Dakota

Rules another office applies inside Town of Verdon

Town of Verdon does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

  • Brown County Title 4 expressly includes the incorporated community of Verdon
