Did You Know?

Zoning district and
tax assessor classifications
are not the same thing. 

If you are on Pierce County's GIS website trying to find out what a property is zoned, YOU ARE NOT looking at the property zoning, you are looking at the tax classification.  

Zoning districts for the Village of Ellsworth and the ETZ are found on the
Village of Ellsworth GIS. 

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.
