Building Permits in Crandon, WI

A small at-grade accessory concrete slab (walkway or equipment pad) is generally outside the scope of the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code and does not require a UDC building permit. A slab forming a dwelling foundation is part of UDC-permitted construction. City zoning and setback rules still apply, so confirm with the City Zoning Administrator. Call Diggers Hotline (811) before excavation.

A residential driveway is a zoning and right-of-way matter rather than a UDC dwelling-code item. A new approach onto a city street is reviewed by the City of Crandon, and a connection to a state highway requires a Wisconsin DOT access permit. Confirm requirements with City Hall, 715-478-2400, before construction.

A fence is a zoning matter rather than a Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code item, so a UDC building permit is generally not required. The City Zoning Administrator regulates fence height and placement, so confirm setback and height limits with the City of Crandon, 715-478-2400, before installation.

An at-grade uncovered patio is generally outside the scope of the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code, so a UDC building permit is not required. Adding a roofed or enclosed cover creates a structure that brings the work under UDC and city zoning review; confirm with the City of Crandon, 715-478-2400.

A low residential retaining wall is generally a zoning/grading matter rather than a Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code item. A tall or engineered wall, or one that supports a structure or surcharge, may require City of Crandon review. Confirm height thresholds with City Hall, 715-478-2400, and provide drainage behind the wall.
