How are inspections scheduled?
For county zoning, sanitary, or site inspections call Land Records and Regulations at 715-627-6206. For UDC permits and required construction inspections, contact contracted inspector Duff Leaver at 715-216-4734 or 715-882-2080; county zoning, land-use and sanitary approvals must be obtained before applying for the building permit.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Langlade County Code Chapters 14 (building/Uniform Dwelling Code), 15 (sanitary) and 17 (zoning), plus Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code requirements for one- and two-family dwellings. The county contracts with Duff Leaver Inspections for UDC permits and required construction inspections in municipalities without their own UDC enforcement. County zoning permits are not required for ordinary maintenance and repair, except roof-truss replacement, or for small accessory structures valued under $1,000, though setbacks still apply. Qualifying farm barns, silos, machine sheds and similar farm structures are exempt from zoning permits but still must meet setbacks. The county building ordinance also exempts restoration to a prior code-compliant condition, additions/decks/roof extensions under 100 square feet, re-siding, re-roofing, interior-surface finishing and cabinetry installation.
