| Can
I see a plot map/air photo of my property? |
This
information can be found (for Winnebago County residents) on the Winnebago
County website, or (for Calumet County residents) on the Calumet
County website.
The
Winnebago County website allows you to search by address, see parcel information,
and even look at historic air photos and find out which aldermanic district
you are in!
The
Calumet County website features some of the same information contained
in the Winnebago County website, but also contains a handy interactive
measuring tool. |
| Can the city locate property lines for
me? |
Menasha
does not have available certified staff to locate property lines. The
best and most accurate way to do this is to contact a land surveyor. |
| I have been
thinking about opening a home-based business. Is this allowed? |
Yes,
home-based businesses are allowed with a few common-sense regulations
found in Title 13, Article
G. See our business resources
section for additional start-up help! |
| How do I submit a proposal for Plan Commission
Review? |
