Over the winter months both Turtle Lake and Almena
Villages have seen several vehicles that are in
violation of their ordinances. This includes expired
or non-registered vehicles, inoperable or junk
vehicles. Inoperable means the vehicle has not moved
in more than 14 days from one spot. Vehicles that
don’t meet the ordinance requirements must be
stored inside a building or moved out of the
village. As in the past we do allow store bought
vehicle covers (no tarps). This is only allowed if
there are no complaints from residents in the
village of the vehicle being stored outside. This
year we will start enforcing the ordinance after
May 10th, 2024. So please take care
of your vehicles so we don’t have to enforce
the ordinance. The fine is $200.00 a day for the
violation.
Barron County has contracted with CodeRED to allow
anyone throughout the County the opportunity to
receive free emergency alert notifications and weather
warnings that require immediate action. These
notifications include emergency evacuations,
shelter-in-place instructions, missing children
alerts, tornado warnings, etc.
May 1st -May 31st residents of
the Village of Turtle Lake will be issued a
FREE voucher for Spring Clean
Up. You may take the voucher valued at $25.00
to the Barron County Waste to Energy Facility
located just South of Almena. You will have
the entire month of May to redeem
this voucher.
This is a program that has been very successful in
other communities and will allow our residents more
flexibility for dates and times to dispose
of their unwanted items.
Please stop by the Village office to pick up your
voucher.
