Do I need a building permit in Brule?
The town does issue building permits. But first the Douglas County Zoning Dept. will need to issue a “Zoning Permit”, so you must contact them before you begin your building project. They are located in the County Courthouse, 715-395-1380 if you would like to speak to someone in person. You may also contact them at their website: http://www.douglascountywi.org. The town does have a building inspector, Rob Lietha. If you are building a new home, either manufactured or on-site built, you must obtain a building packet from him. You may also contact Mr. Lietha at 218-393-6482 or by email at [email protected] Once you have an approved zoning permit, the town will need a copy of it and $25.00. Make checks payable to the Town of Brule and mail to PO Box 98, Brule, WI 54820.
