Regulatory Programs

The Planning, Resources and Land Management Department administers the Sanitary, Shoreland Zoning, Manure Storage, and Nonmetallic Mining Ordinances for Ozaukee County. 

The sanitary regulations apply to all unsewered development within the county. The zoning regulations apply to the unincorporated areas of the county and only to development that occurs within 300 feet of a stream, 1,000 feet of a lake or flowage, or to the areas within the floodplain if it is greater than the previous distances. Along some rivers, particularly the Milwaukee River and Cedar Creek, areas of the floodplain extend greater than 300 feet.  

The manure storage regulations apply to all existing manure storage facilities and/or new construction within the county.  All nonmetallic mining operations within the county [> 1 acre of disturbance] are also regulated by the county.
