• Adding a solar collector

Zoning
The Town of Christiana follows Dane County Zoning. To determine what your zoning district is, visit the AccessDane website and search for your parcel by owner name, property number, or address. You’ll find your zoning district as well as a link to a page listing zoning restrictions for your zoning category and information about setbacks.
What if I Do Not Get a Permit?
Ordinances and State Statutes require building permits. If you do not get a building permit when required the fees can be legally doubled, a stop work order will be posted and you could be fined every day the work is not in compliance. If you are not sure whether your project requires a building permit, please contact the inspector.
