A Shoreland Land Use Permit is required when the department needs to do any onsite determinations such as impervious surface calculations, average setbacking, etc. In many cases this permit will be in place of a regular Land Use Permit.
WHAT DO I NEED TO OBTAIN A SHORELAND LAND USE PERMIT?
Please complete the Preliminary Land Use Application Form located under Zoning on our Forms & Documents page and return to the department.
Once the department reviews the Preliminary Land Use Application form, a member of the department will contact you with what permit(s) may be needed for the project, and any additionally required information that may be needed to complete the permitting process.
The appropriate fee in either cash or check (checks can be made payable to: Shawano County Planning & Development).
WHERE CAN A SHORELAND LAND USE PERMIT BE OBTAINED?
Shoreland Land Use Permits can be obtained from the Planning & Development Department located in the basement of the Shawano County Courthouse. Appointments are required. Please make an appointment by calling (715) 526-6766.
Upon issuance, a shoreland land use permit is in effect for 12 months. A shoreland land use permit may be renewed prior to expiration for an additional year.
