Pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes section 893.21(4), any action to recover a forfeiture or penalty imposed by ordinance or regulation of any county, when no other limitation is prescribed by law, shall be commenced within two years of said violation. In those situations in which there occurs a continuing violation in existence for more than two years prior to the issuance of the complaint and wherein each day the violation exists continues to constitute a separate offense, no penalty may be imposed for each day of violation occurring more than two years prior to the commencement of the action; a penalty may be imposed, however, for each day of violation occurring within the two-year period prior to the issuance of the complaint. [Code § 12.32-5.]
