Town Of Fond Du Lac

What Town Of Fond Du Lac does

The Town of Fond du Lac is a municipal government entity operating under Wisconsin state law, serving approximately 4,000+ residents across 17.5 square miles surrounding the City of Fond du Lac in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. It is governed by an elected Town Board (Chairman Jeff Montsma and four Supervisors) with appointed officers including a Clerk, Treasurer, and Building & Zoning Inspector, supported by a Planning Commission, Board of Appeals, and multiple sanitary district boards. The entity delivers core municipal services including property tax collection, elections administration, building/zoning permitting, dog licensing, sanitary sewer service through five sanitary districts (SD#0, #2, #3 joint with Town of Empire, #4, #6), park pavilion rental, and short-term rental licensing.

The Town's underlying technology is a standard municipal website platform built and hosted by Town Web (townoffdl.com), providing news/notices publication, downloadable forms and permits, meeting agendas and minutes, email/text notification subscriptions, and an online payment portal powered by Payment Service Network for sanitary district and property tax payments. The site is designed for WCAG 2.1 A/AA and Section 508 accessibility compliance. No public API, SDK, or proprietary technology stack is documented; service delivery relies on conventional in-person, phone, mail, and web channels.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of statutory and fee-based streams: recurring property taxes and sanitary district sewer fees, transaction-based building/driveway/erosion control permits and park pavilion rentals, annual dog licenses ($5 spayed/neutered, $10 unspayed/unneutered, $35 multi-pet surcharge for 3-4 dogs), and short-term rental licensing fees under Ordinance Title 7, Chapter 11. A newly adopted Park Impact Fee Ordinance (effective May 11, 2026) sets phase-one fees at $600 per unit with planned phased increases. The Fire/EMS department is a 100% volunteer force of approximately 20 active members responding to roughly 200 calls annually from two fire stations, supplemented by a Cadet Firefighter Program (ages 14-17), Public Education initiatives, and an American Red Cross partnership for free smoke alarm distribution.
