Fair Housing Ordinance:
Florence County adopted a Fair Housing Ordinance based on Wisconsin Statutes Section 106.50 on 7/17/2001. Ordinances can be viewed at the County Clerk’s office in the Courthouse at 501 Lake Ave in Florence. This Ordinance guarantees equal housing opportunity to all Americans and helps provide access to affordable housing for all people, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, ancestry, marital status, handicapped, income or family status. Discrimination is not allowed in the sale or rental of housing or residential lots, in advertising the sale or rental of housing, in the financing of housing, in the provision of real estate brokerage services or in the appraisal of housing. Blockbusting is also illegal. Any person aggrieved by an unlawful practice prohibited by this Ordinance may file a complaint with the County Clerk, Donna Trudell, 715-528-3201. Or federally by calling 800-669-9777.
