Board of Review to meet September 25
Notice of Board of Review Meeting The Board of Review for the Village of Biron in Wood County shall hold its meeting on September 25, 2023 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Biron Municipal Center, 451 Kahoun Road, Wisconsin Rapids. Please read complete information in the "Upcoming Meetings and Notices".

Grass and Leaves Pickup
Fall grass and leaf pickups are the second week in October through the second week in November. Grass clippings and leaves are to be placed in untied bags. The Village encourages the use of paper bags as they are recyclable. Paper bag use will be mandatory in 2024. Grass and leaves must be kept separate from brush piles.

Water Meter Exchanges and Cross Connection Survey
Letters will be sent to residents in regard to performing water meter exchanges and cross connection surveys. The meter exchanges will be taking place over the course of two years. Not everyone will receive notices this year. If you do receive a notification, please contact the village hall at (715)423-6580 to make an appointment. This is a requirement from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Per the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, water suppliers for each municipal water system shall cause a survey to be conducted for every residential service a minimum of once every ten years or on a schedule matching meter replacement and to exchange your meter.

Building Permits Required
Building permits are required for nearly all building and remodeling projects including furnace and air conditioner installations. Permits are always required for a roof, driveways, fences, and sheds. The contractor should apply for the permit at the municipal clerk's office. By doing so, protection is offered for both parties. If the homeowner pulls the building permit for the contractor, they may be personally liable should there be an injury. As the homeowner, you may be unaware that the contractor may not be paying unemployment insurance, worker's compensation insurance, or carrying liability insurance, thus putting unknown liability on you. Work done prior to obtaining a permit, including early start permits, will result in the permit fee being doubled. Visit the Permits and Forms page for further information.
