Do I need a permit for pavers, driveway, or hardscape in Unincorporated St. Croix County?

Unincorporated St. Croix County does not issue residential building permits. St. Croix County is not on the DSPS list of counties delegated to enforce the Uniform Dwelling Code, so the county issues no residential building (UDC) permit. Every Wisconsin town, village and city is covered by the state UDC: a town with its own delegated UDC program issues the permit itself; in a town without one, the DSPS permitting map directs homeowners to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) (608-261-6541).
