Livestock Siting Disclaimer
Use this interactive web map to identify if a local government has a zoning or licensing ordinance that requires permit approval to expand or build a new livestock facility. Local governments (mostly counties and towns) have the option to require a “siting” permit. Ordinances that require a siting permit must follow the requirements of the Wisconsin Livestock Facility Siting Law and Rule (s. 93.90 and ATCP 51).
This interactive map is intended for general use to help you learn:
* If a local government requires a permit
* The animal unit (AU) threshold at which a permit is necessary
* Contact information for local officials who can provide additional information about how to obtain a permit
This map is only as accurate as the information provided to the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), and may not be all inclusive. This map does not identify other local, state and federal regulations applicable to livestock operations. It only identifies whether a livestock facility siting permit is required by a local ordinance. Users should contact local governments to confirm current and specific regulations.
