Land Management & Zoning

Responsibilities & Services

Responsibilities & Services The Watonwan County Land Management Department is charged with overseeing matters of zoning and land use permitting as required in the Watonwan County Zoning Ordinance (PDF). This includes feedlot programs, septic system inventory, and compliance and shoreland development and use. Most matters consider, and are directly connected with, surface water quality and soil erosion. Who do I contact if I want to throw away old paint cans or find out collection times? Who do I contact if I need a new 9-1-1 address assigned? Who do I contact if I have questions regarding radon? Who do I call if I suspect that my septic system is failing? Do I need a building permit if I am replacing shingles, replacing siding, or replacing windows?
