Pier Regulations--Lake Owners Take Note!
If you own property on a lake or river, you need to take note of the required pier registration that is due by April, 2011. The new legislation went into effect in the summer of 2008 which regulates the placement of piers on Wisconsin Waterways. Most piers are exempt from the regulations but as a pier owner you are required to register your pier. For information on how to register please click here.
On the bottom of the page is a simple “Decision Tool” that will assist you in this process. There is also a short video to determine your “Pier Size”. You can click here to log on and watch this video.
If your pier was placed BEFORE February 6, 2004, the pier is eligible to be grandfathered in through registration. You must apply for an individual permit to be grandfathered. This is important!!
Please check out the websites if you own a lake or river home. If you have a relative or friend, please pass this along to them as well!
