Typical review lane

Ask the agency for its current review estimate

Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.

01

Confirm jurisdiction

Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.

02

Assemble a complete package

Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.

03

Track the review record

Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.

Application documents

Use the official form when a portal is not the only filing route.

Project questions

Frequently asked questions for Price County

Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?

Price County Zoning and Land Conservation Department is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.

How should I begin an application?

No verified online portal was located in the reviewed public materials. Contact 715-339-3272 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.

How long might review take?

A typical review timeline was not verified. Ask the agency for its current completeness and review estimate.

How are inspections scheduled?

Call Price County Zoning at 715-339-3272 for land-use setback verification, site inspections and sanitary inspection requirements. Proposed structures must be staked before the county site visit; an unstaked site incurs a $20 reinspection fee. Arrange UDC building and trade inspections separately through the applicable township or municipality.

Which codes and exemptions should I review?

Price County administers comprehensive zoning throughout most unincorporated areas, county shoreland zoning within 1,000 feet of lakes and 300 feet of rivers or streams, floodplain and other land-use ordinances, and county sanitary/POWTS permitting. Non-shoreland zoning in Kennan, Catawba, Georgetown, Ogema and Hill is handled locally. The county land-use permit covers zoning compliance only; applicants must check with the applicable town for Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code building-permit and inspection requirements. No county land-use permit is required for a dwelling addition that does not exceed 80 square feet of horizontal expansion; qualifying farm buildings; school-bus-stop shelters; temporary horse shelters; temporary shelters for people or equipment at logging or pulpwood operations; or accessibility ramps used only to enter or leave a dwelling, provided all dimensional and setback requirements are met. An RV may remain on a parcel up to four months per calendar year without a land-use permit if the site has a 911 number and sanitary system.

What makes an application complete

A portal submission is only as strong as its supporting record.

Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.

Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.

Submission quality check

Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.

Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.

Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
