What's in Property Records
Wisconsin property records include deeds, mortgages, liens, easements, plat maps, and other documents affecting real property. These records are public and maintained chronologically by recording date.
Finding the Right Office
Property records in Wisconsin are kept by the Register of Deeds in each county. Contact the recorder's office in the county where the property is located. Records are county-specific—there's no statewide database.
Search Methods
Search Wisconsin property records by property address, parcel number, or owner name. Many Wisconsin counties offer online search access. In-person searches at the Register of Deeds allow access to original documents.
Obtaining Copies
Request copies from the Register of Deeds by providing the recording information—book/page or document number. Fees typically range from $15-50 per document. Specify if you need certified copies.
Title Searches
For comprehensive property research, consider a title search. Title searches examine the chain of ownership and all recorded encumbrances. Professional services ensure thorough Wisconsin property research.
Processing Times
In-person requests at Wisconsin recording offices typically provide same-day copies. Mail requests take 3-7 business days. Online ordering, where available, varies by county.
