| About
the office: In 2003, Property Listing became a
division of the Land Information Department. We were merged
with three other departments, Land and Water Conservation,
Surveyor, and Zoning and Solid Waste. All four divisions
were moved into one central location on the first floor of
the Courthouse in the spring of 2004. Linda manages a staff
consisting of 2 Mapping Specialist, Russell Mattice and Tina
Carvenough, and a Description Specialist, Debra Weiland.
The Property Listing Division is responsible for all duties
described under Chapter 70.09. Additional duties include the
production of the tax rolls and bills, production and
maintenance of digital parcel maps, and approving all new
road names and verifying existing road names within the
County. As the County's designee for DOR mailings, we handle
all assessment and tax supplies for assessors, clerks and
treasurers. We print all of our own reports, including the
assessment and tax rolls, statements, labels, posting
sheets, and notices of assessment. While we electronically
file the Statement of Assessment for all 25 municipalities,
we manually enter assessment changes for eight of those
districts. Our assessment/taxation system resides on the
AS/400. We have in-house programs and currently utilize
AutoCAD 2005 and Arcview 9.1 for mapping and GIS. We have
the ability to run various query reports for municipalities,
private sector and the general public. For assessment year
2005, 272 parcels were split into 848 parcels, 152 parcels
were merged into 66 parcels while 393 parcels were
transferred, and 3150 parcels were revised. As of June 2005,
we have approximately 50,000 parcels digitally mapped. The
remaining parcels should be mapped by the end of August
2005, however the quality control work will continue on for
sometime. A goal of the Land Information Dept. is to go
online sometime in 2006.
Besides Shoreland Zoning, Marinette County has a Land
Division and Subdivision Regulation Ordinance, and a Road
Naming Ordinance. Several municipalities also have their own
