Wisconsin Pier Registration Deadline is Extended

June 15, 2011 By

Williams Bay
The Wisconsin legislature has recently passed legislation extending the pier registration deadline by one year to April 1, 2012. In a previous post we spoke about the original Wisconsin pier registration deadline. Recall that Wisconsin enacted the Pier Protection Act in 2008 which clarified the state’s pier rules and provided for a registration system for grandfathered piers. Most piers would not require registration, as they would fit the size standards currently in law. Other larger piers can be grandfathered and the largest will require a permit review. As the Wisconsin Realtors Association states:

Why register? Having the pier registered protects property owners if neighbors or others complain about the pier’s size in future years, allows DNR and local governments to know the larger pier is legal, and is helpful if there is an eventual property ownership transfer.

To find out more about the registration process, go to the DNR’s pier permitting and registration webpage.
