Saukville is one of the fastest developing communities in Wisconsin, located in the beautiful open country north of Milwaukee. Woods and water meet the interstate in this rustic yet progressive community. Saukville offers the peace and serenity of small town life with accessibility to the metropolitan culture of Milwaukee.

Building Permits

Residents are reminded that a permit is required before any construction work is done on a home. 

Electrical Contractor Licensing is required for all electrical work being done in the Village.  We require a copy of the Wisconsin Contractor's Certification, License, or Registration Card along with a $50 licensing fee in order to obtain a Village of Saukville license, and before a permit can be taken out and work begun.  Licenses are effective for one year, beginning July 1st of the licensing year through June 30th of the following year.
 

The Village of Saukville will continue to administer permits and inspections as required for:

SIGNS, FENCES, CODE COMPLIANCE (Change of Use), WATER METERS, RIGHT OF WAY, SPECIAL EVENT, & RECREATIONAL BURNING.  

Refuse Pick Up

Trash and recycling  service through Veolia Environmental Services will continue to be collected on Thursdays (Fridays when a holiday occurs earlier in the week) and must be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. on pick-up day.  Residents are urged not to place trash loosely in trash carts as this will lead to odor and pest problems as well as blowing materials when the carts are emptied.  Any trash or recyclable materials placed curbside in any container other than the carts will not be collected.

Carts must face the street as indicated by the arrow on the cart, must be fully accessible, need to be placed side by side, and must be placed with a minimum of three (3) feet of space between carts and/or other obstacles.  

Recycling will be collected only every other week.  The recycling collection dates are posted on this website under the Navigation menu, 'Recycling Collection' link, and can also be found on  the Village's Government Access Cable Channel 25.  Information is also available at Village Hall and Oscar Grady Library.  All recyclable materials (paper, plastic, glass, metal) can be placed in the same recycle cart.  More information can be found under Village Services - Recycling Guidelines link.

Large item pick-up service:  to dispose of large items, such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances, you must arrange for special pick-up by Veolia, or you can take items to the Veolia drop-off site at 803 N. River Road,  West Bend.  There is a fee for large item disposal.  Contact Veolia directly (1-800-387-0949) for prices and information.  Residents generating large amounts of refuse should also arrange for special pick-up in advance before placing trash curbside, or arrange for dumpster service.

Yard Waste Disposal
Wisconsin residents are not allowed to put yard waste in with their ordinary household waste, or sweep it into the street or curbside.  Residents are encouraged to compost, or take their bagged grass clippings and leaves to our Public Works Compost Site. The Village will chip small tree branches (less than 3 inches in diameter) every Monday mid-April through October.  Residents are asked to place branches at the curb on the weekend before the pick up.

Property Maintenance

All lawns, yards, and property foliage located within the Village must be kept free from the accumulation of all-unsightly growth, foliage, and noxious weeds.
