Documents that May Be Required
CSM or PLAT MAP
A property may have a certified survey map or recorded 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.
Municipal Approval
Some municipalities require town board approval for your home. Some municipalities have comprehensive town plans that must be taken into consideration. (For example, you are required to get town board approval if you are building in the Town of Maiden Rock.) Some areas are under municipal zoning. Make sure your plans fit the municipality guidelines. If a variance of some sort is required, you need to turn in the approval,
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.
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. In order to get a Land Use permit in Pierce County (which is required to get a building permit from All Croix) a driveway permit is required.
Sanitary Permit
If the 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.
