| About
Marissa :
I began working in Calumet County in 2000 as a
Secretary/Technician in the Land & Water Conservation
Department. I worked there 7 years and then transferred to
the Treasurer's Office to become the Real Property
Lister/Deputy Treasurer in July, 2007. I went to school at
Fox Valley Technical College and have a degree in Applied
Science majoring in Legal Secretary. I enjoy the outdoors
with doing alot of hunting, fishing, and camping. I also
enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my fiance
Scott. |
| About
the office: Right now the position of Real Property
Lister/Deputy Treasurer is located in the County Treasurer's
Office. There are plans for the position to be transferred
to the Planning Department sometime next year. In addition
to the Treasurer and myself, there is also a part-time
Tax/Real Property Clerk and a call-in position as needed.
This year 12 of the 19 municipalities that comprise Calumet
County electronically transferred the assessment data to our
office. We also just completed the digital parcel maps for
the County late last year. All information about parcels and
the parcel mapping is available free of charge on the county
website. The Register of Deeds office has had an electronic
tract index since 1991 and an electronic grantee/grantor
index since 1994. All deeds, Certified Survey Maps, plats,
subdivisions and cemetery plats have been imaged and are
available on-line in the ROD office and internally to all
other land-related offices. The images are not available on
the county website. In 2004, Calumet County had 2523
recorded property conveyances (handled by the RPL office),
122 Certified Survey Maps with 198 lots, 11 plats/condos
with 159 lots, 7 outlots and 14 condo units. There were four
annexation recordings involving 122.072 acres. The Cities of
Appleton and Menasha do their own listing. Not including
those cities there were a total of 687 split parcels in 2004
which included some of the plats and CSM's. Next year I hope
to be more paperless and have daily/weekly reports of
recordings rather than a photocopy of the actual deeds, etc.
We will us the imaging system and the Real Estate Transfer
Return for the needed information. The 2004 parcel
counts/splits/recordings were down because of a moratorium
in some of the sanitary districts in the Fox Cities portion
of the County. We have already surpassed those numbers for
2005. |
| About Calumet county:
Calumet County is located on the east side of Lake Winnebago
and has the Niagara Escarpment going through most of the
County, but especially along Lake Winnebago. We have three
county parks and one state park, numerous ares of DNR
wetland and hunting lands, two federal harbors, with a
mostly rural economic base except for the northwestern
portion adjacent to the the Fox Cities area which is mostly
residential and recreational. There are nine towns, four
villages and six cities. Chilton is the county seat which is
centrally located approximately 30 miles each from
Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Manitowoc and Appleton.
We are ideally located, so that residents can still enjoy a
small town atmosphere, but yet be close enough to all of the
cultural and economic opportunities afforded in those larger
communities. At its inception Calumet County included two
Indian Reservations, comprised of the Brothertown and
Menominee Indians and then later the Stockbridge-Munsee
transplanted from Upper New York State. The county was
originally call "Chalumet" from the Menominee language which
means 'peace' and signifies the Indian Pipe of Peace. The
County slogan, adopted almost a century ago is "We Extend
the Calumet to All Mankind". In 1839 Congress granted
citizenship to the Brothertown Indians and in 1843 the
Stockbridge Indians were granted the same recognition.
Traces of the early pre-historic Menominee mounds can still
be found in the county, several located at the Calumet
County Park in Stockbridge. In 1848 the reservations were
turned over the Federal Government and the land was sold and
patented as lots into a regular civil town and are still
described as such. There are no sections within these two
towns. The Village of Stockbridge is known as the Sturgeon
capital of the world. Summer fishing and winter ice-fishing
during the winter is very a popular sport, but especially
sturgeon spearing is huge drawing in the latter part of
February of the year. The Calumet County Park in Stock |
