Broadband Survey
The Public Service Commission is trying to evaluate where there is need for additional broadband connectivity. While the high-resolution maps make it look like Jefferson County is pretty well covered, when you drill down there are a lot of pockets (like my neighborhood) that lack high speed access. The survey assesses how we access the internet and does a speed test.  Please visit:  tinyurl.com/wiser2023 or call 608-261-6026. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.

 Dog License Required 

Wisconsin State Statutes require dogs to be licensed:

  • All dogs MUST be licensed and have a rabies shot. Proof of immunization by a veterinarian must be presented to the treasurer at the time of obtaining a license. Dog licenses will not be issued without such proof.

  • Kennel licenses are $35.00. Anyone having more than 4 dogs on their property needs to apply for a kennel license.

  • A self-addressed, stamped envelope must be submitted with application made by mail for return of the immunization certificate and license.
