Welcome to the Village of Brooklyn!

Located in both Dane and Green Counties Wisconsin, the Village is conveniently located half way between Madison and Janesville off Highway 14. Our neighborly small-town (population 1413) has excellent amenities: a great school system; three Village parks; and a community center, which makes Brooklyn a great place to live!

How do I rent the Community Building?
Call the Clerk's Office  at 455-4201 to check on availability of the Community Building.  A Community Building Rental Policy and Application can be picked up at the Clerk's Office and is written in both English and Spanish.  Rental rates vary and are written in the policy.
When do I need a Building Permit?

A building permit is required for any new construction, addition or structural changes made to your property; also for fences, finishing or remodeling a basement, bathroom, or kitchen, installation of wood stoves or fireplaces, hot tubs or whirlpools and swimming pools.  This is not a total list.  Please contact the Clerk's Office if you have a question at 455-4201.

If you do NOT get a building permit when required, the fees can be legally doubled, a stop work order will be posted, and you could be fined for every day the work is not in compliance.
