Permit Authority

No current Chauncey building-permit packet, fee schedule, or online portal found. The Dodge County joint comprehensive plan states that as of that plan only Eastman and Milan had zoning ordinances and limited building-code enforcement, which suggests Chauncey may not maintain a separate public-facing building-permit program.
