Who do I talk with to find out how big I can build my building/structure?

First, determine which zoning jurisdiction the building site is located. See What Zoning Jurisdiction is my property in?

  • For Shoreland Areas and County Zoning contact the Winnebago County Planning and Zoning Department.
  • For City, Village or Town zoning jurisdiction contact their municipal office or Planning/Zoning Department.
  • Structures may not be constructed/located in a mapped wetland area.  To see if your property has mapped wetlands, use the GIS Hydrologic Map at https://wcgis3.co.winnebago.wi.us/hydroviewer/.
    •  Contact the DNR if you have questions regarding mapped wetlands.
