Dodge County consists of twenty-four (24) townships, eleven
(11) villages and nine (9) cities, of which a portion of one
village and four cities lie in adjacent counties. A portion
of the Village of Randolph lies in Columbia County. The
majority of the City of Columbus lies in Columbia County.
The majority of the City of Hartford lies in Washington
County. A portion of the City of Watertown lies in Jefferson
County. A portion of the City of Waupun lies in Fond du Lac
County. In 2005, Dodge County has 47,491 real estate parcels
and 2,693 personal property accounts. The City of Watertown
is the only municipality that maintains its own assessment
rolls and tax maps accounting for 2899 of the real estate
parcels.
Tax mapping is under the direction of the Survey Department.
We currently have digital maps for all townships, villages
and cities, but in varying degrees of accuracy.
Our office now requires data transfers for all assessment
values. Assessors are supplied with digital information as
well. All maps, surveys and assessment data are available in
a digital format. |
About
Dodge County:
Dodge County was created in 1836 and named in honor of Henry
Dodge, then territorial governor of Wisconsin. The Town of
Victory was chosen as the County Seat. The Town of Victory
was later renamed City of Juneau after Paul Juneau, the son
of Solomon Juneau, founder of Milwaukee.
In 1845 iron ore was discovered in Mayville and an iron ore
works operated here for several decades until competition
from mines in the Lake Superior region closed them. Sawmills
and gristmills were widely distributed over Dodge County in
the 1870's.
In 1875, John Jossie, came from Switzerland, developed the
variety of cheese known as brick, and later opened the first
brick cheese factory in the United States in Watertown,
operating until 1943.
Dodge County is a leading county in the production of
cheese, barley, alfalfa, hay and peas for canning.
Industries include the manufacture of wood products, shoes,
metal products, lawn care equipment, magazines, stainless
steel equipment and ice fishing equipment. |
