Development Review Process
All applications for approvals and permits must be made in
person in Room 116, City-County Building, 210 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in downtown Madison. If you have any
questions or need further information, you may contact the Zoning Division at 266-4266.
Filling and Grading Permit
Filling and grading permits are required for filling, grading, lagooning, dredging, excavating and ditching in "shoreland
areas" around lake, rivers and streams, and along steep slopes. Filling and grading permits are not required for septic
systems or the construction of single or two family homes, provided total disturbed area does not exceed 4,000 square feet
or occur on steep slopes.
You may apply for a Filling and Grading Permit with the Dane County Zoning Division. You will need to provide a site plan
that shows the natural features of the property. The Zoning Administrator is authorized to grant filling and grading
permits after evaluating the effects of the proposal on possible erosion or water pollution.
Other Permits
The Zoning and Plat Review Division administers other development permit and approval processes. These include the following:
- Sign Permits are required for construction or alteration of many types of signs.
- Farmland Certificates are issued to farmers participating in the State Farmland Preservation Program and
desiring to receive an income tax credit.
- Flood Zone Permits are issued for any development activity proposed in a FEMA designated flood plain.
- Salvage Yard Licenses are issued to all salvage yards, and must be renewed annually.
