Welcome

The Town of Buchanan, which is located in the southeastern portion of Outagamie County, Wisconsin, is a unique blend of rural and urban development.  We have experienced considerable growth pressures during the past decade.  Much of our development has occurred within the boundaries of the Darboy Sanitary District, which was created in the 1980's to provide "urban services" to the newly developing areas.  The Town has a current population of nearly 6,719 residents and encompasses a land area of approximately 18.4 square miles or nearly 11,800 acres.

Buchanan shares a common boundary with the communities of Appleton, Kimberly, Kaukauna, Combined Locks, the Town of Harrison, the Town of Holland, and the Town of Woodville.

Dogs to be Licensed and Kept Under Control

Dogs running at large and untagged dogs are subject to impoundment and the owners may pay penalties.  A dog is considered to be running at large if it is off the premises of it's owner and not under the control of the owner or some other person.  A dog is considered to be untagged if a valid license tag is not attached to a collar which is kept on the dog whenever the dog is outdoors, unless the dog is securely confined in a fenced area.  An officer shall attempt to capture and restrain any dog running at large or any untagged dog.  If the owner of a dog negligently or otherwise permits the dog to run at large or be untagged, the owner shall forfeit not less than $25 or more than $100 for the first offense, and not less than $50 or more than $200 for subsequent offenses.
