Wisconsin Real Property Listers Association

About the Office: The Real Property Lister's Office is overseen by the County Clerk's Office. I have been with Bayfield County for approximately 2 ½ years. The Property Lister's Office is a separate office within the courthouse. It is shared with the Tax Deed Clerk, Perri Shuga, and we assist each other as needed. I am responsible for the listing of all real and personal property parcels in the County, entering assessment changes and printing the notices and tax rolls, issuing dog tags, providing Land Records with map changes due to splits, and assisting the public with any questions and concerns they may have. During 2001 there were approximately 2000 land transfers, 26 CSM's, 2 subdivision plats and 3 condo plats.

The Land Records Department is using AutoCad, ArcView and ArcInfo software for its mapping projects. Mapping is done both in-house and on a contractual basis. Our current projects, which are on-going, include parcel mapping, road mapping, the Emergency Response Map Booklet, land use planning maps, web site maps and the county plat book.
