PLEASE NOTE:

We can't accept singular documents that do not comprise a complete application packet. Provide copies of all documents listed below.

​

1. Application Checklist

​

2.  Copy of Land Use/Zoning/Conditional Use Permit 

Note: A Land Use or Zoning permit is NOT the same as a building permit.

​

It is up to the applicant to make sure that all zoning regulations are being followed.  This includes but is not limited to making sure there are not restrictions on what you intend to use the structure for, how many structures are allowed, the height of a structure, and the physical landscape of the lot (i.e. slopes, ponds, rivers, easements, protected areas....)  Your building permit only addresses construction codes etc.  Anything relating to the above is outside All Croix's responsibility.   If you are unsure who to contact about zoning,  click here.

​

3.  Copy of County-recorded Certified Survey Map (CSM) or the County-recorded Complete Plat Map 

Most properties have a certified survey map or are recorded on a plat map for the development.  These documents can be obtained from the County Register of Deeds.  This document may show the setbacks for the property as well as any easements or pre-platted driveways.  If the property is part of a development, we need the complete plat map for the development (in order to see notes and the legend pertaining to the development.) We do not want the house stake out plan for this requirement. (The house stake-out plan, however,  is sufficient for the site plan.)  We want the official document recorded at the County that includes a legend. Note: It will have a stamped county seal.  If your property is unplatted and a formal map is not available, it is your responsibility to contact the zoning administrator for your property for setbacks or any other information pertinent to zoning.   If you are unsure who to contact about zoning for your property,  click here.

 

4.  Copy of Driveway Permit

If this is the first structure on the property in St. Croix County, you need one of the following:

•  a driveway application (if All Croix is the issuing agent,)

• or a copy of an approved driveway permit or documentation stating a permit is not needed from the proper issuing agent.   For more information, click here. 

 

In Pierce County you need a driveway permit to obtain a Land Use permit.

 

5.  Copy of Sanitary Permit 

If your structure will have plumbing, your licensed plumber will apply to the county in which you are building in unless you are connecting to village or city sewer. In that case, you do not have to provide a sanitary permit in your packet.

​

6.  Complete the Residential Outbuilding Permit Application

 

7.  Complete the Cautionary Statement

If you are the homeowner applying for the permit, you must sign and submit the cautionary statement.

​

8.  Complete the Building Cross Section Worksheet

You may also turn in plans, just make sure they include all the information from the Building Cross section worksheet.

​

9.  Complete the Subcontractor List

​

​​10.  Site Plan

This should detail shed placement, any other structure locations (like the house), the well location, septic area, drainage easements, property easements, driveway location, utility placement and any other pertinent information.  All distances must be clearly labeled to determine if setbacks are met. This includes distances from the new outbuilding to any roads,  lot lines,  well, septic, driveway, easements and any other other structures.  

 

​​11. Copy of Recorded Deed 

If you have had a recent property transfer, you must provide a copy of the recorded deed if the transfer has not yet been updated in the Pierce County or St. Croix County GIS.
