Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Newbold, Wisconsin

Rules another office applies inside Town of Newbold

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

• Building code adoptedAdopted

  Uniform Dwelling Code for one- and two-family dwellings inside Newbold town, as in all Wisconsin municipalities

  • Enforcement may be carried out by the town or by another entity; the county handout says each town may handle UDC enforcement in a different manner.
  • The county handout states the requirement as a state law fact; Newbold-specific UDC administrator not confirmed.

  UDC enforcement required since: December 18, 2003

  • Use of an RV as a dwelling for five consecutive days or fewer is not addressed by this rule in the handout; the 9.33(f) exemption text was not opened.
