SHORELAND ZONING REQUIREMENTS IN LANGLADE COUNTY
Land use is regulated in all shoreland areas in Langlade County and throughout the towns with comprehensive zoning. Permitted uses vary among zoning districts.
Shoreland development regulations apply to the following lands:
- Lands within 1000 feet of the ordinary high-water mark (OHWM) of navigable lakes, ponds or flowages and,
- Lands within 300 feet of the OHWM or to the landward side of the floodplain of a navigable river or stream, whichever distance is greater.
Other permits may be required from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for activities such as installing shoreland stabilization structures (i.e. rock riprap), grading, placing a dock, or installing a wildlife pond. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) may have jurisdiction if you are doing any filling or grading near a wetland. See "Contacts", for agency addresses and phone numbers.
