Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who do I contact to get my driveway plowed?
A: If you weren't on the snow plow list last season, you won't
automatically be placed on the list this season. You need to have a snow
plow contract filled out and a payment sent to the clerk in order to get
on the snow plow list. If you haven't done that,

the contract. You may also contact the town garage at 715-372-8381,
leave a message on their answering machine, and the maintenance men will
come if you have been missed on the route.
Q: Do I need a building permit in Brule?
A: The town does not issue building permits. The County Zoning Dept.
does, so you must contact them before you begin your building project.
They are located in the County Courthouse, 715-395-1380 if you would
like to speak to someone in person. You may also contact them at their
website: www.douglascountywi.org. The town does have a building
inspector, Rob Lietha. If you are building a new home, either
manufactured or on-site built, you must obtain a building packet from
the town. Call the Clerk at 715-372-4877, and a packet will be sent to
you upon receipt of a $25 administrative fee. You may also contact Mr.
Lietha at 218-393-6482 or by email at inspectorrobl@hotmail.com.
Q: Where do I take my appliances and computers to be
recycled?
A: Each June the town has an Appliance & Tire Recycling Day. Look for
fliers around the town or notices in Northwoods Shopper and the Daily Telegram
for date, time and fees. This event is held at the Solid Waste/Recycling Site on
Old Hwy 2 east of town. Computers, TVs or other electronics must be taken to
Superior when they hold a similar event in June. Information about this
recycling day is also in the Daily Telegram. If the town receives a County
grant, a furniture and household clean-up day is held in the summer. This is
only for town residents and is free. However, paint, hazardous waste, building
materials, or batteries are not collected.
Q: When are taxes due?
A: Due date is January 31st for the 1st have of your tax bill, and July
31st for the second half of your tax bill. This information is found on your tax
bill, which is sent out the middle of December. All payments should be sent to
