The Town of Trego mandates a general building permit (refer to the ordinance for details). This ordinance and permit system is designed to monitor all taxable property within the town, ensuring accurate valuation and taxation. This process generates revenue that benefits the town and its residents.
General Building Permit
The Town of Trego is not included in the Washburn County Zoning ordinances. However, residents must still adhere to Shoreland Zoning (regulated by Washburn County) and state regulations. These regulations cover a range of areas including environmental protection, land use, and construction standards. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about these regulations and seek guidance if needed to ensure they are following all applicable laws and guidelines.
Shoreland zoning refers to a designated area, site, or project that is within 1,000 feet of a navigable body of water or within 300 feet of a navigable river, stream, or creek. These areas are regulated by Washburn County Zoning ordinances as mandated by state law.
