| About
Cheryl:
I started working for Dane County in 1985 in the Surveyor's
Dept. and later moved to Property Listing. I served as the
WRPLA President in 2001 and hosted the ASM in 1997. I have
also served several terms as Vice President.
I enjoy my family, gardening, baking, reading and travel.

About
the office: Property Listing is part of the Planning
and Development Dept.
We have 2 mapping/listing technicians who list and map the
changes within a couple of days of the documents being
recorded in the Register of Deeds. Approximately 13,000
ownership changes are processed and 5,000 new parcels are
created yearly.
There are 2 support staff who help with transfer returns,
sorting documents, and entering assessment changes after
BOR.
I process the data exchange with the local clerks and
assessors as well as run all requested reports and digital
files. All of the preliminary assessments submitted by the
assessor must be in a digital format.
Along with the digital exchange with the assessor's, we have
a website that allows the local municipality to enter
address changes. 2004 was the first year for a project where
the clerks could submit their milrate worksheets from an
internet application. We also supply an excel worksheet with
special assessments and charges that the clerk can maintain
and email back. I'm hoping to also have this switched to a
web application in the near future. |
About Dane county:
Dane County has played a brilliant and outstanding role in
the history of Wisconsin. Only half a century after the
landing of the Pilgrims, Marquette and Joliet navigated the
Wisconsin River which borders Dane County. Another century
and a half passed before the United States Government took
possession of Dane County from the Native Americans,
following the Blackhawk War. The first Wisconsin territorial
legislature, meeting in 1836, created Dane County. The same
legislature voted to establish the capitol of the territory
in the wooded area between the third and fourth lakes in the
chain of lakes situated in the southern part of Wisconsin.
The christener of Dane County, Territorial Judge James Doty,
named the capitol City of Madison in honor of the nation's
fourth President. The county was named for Nathan Dane of
Massachusetts, chairman of the committee which drew up the
ordinance of 1787 for the government of the Northwest
Territory. In 1839 Dane County was organized as a separate
governmental unit.
Dane County consists of 61 municipalities. There are 8
Cities, 19 Villages and 34 Towns. The City of Madison
Property Listing is part of the City Assessor's Office. |
