The office staff processes on average about 6,000 documents of transfer from the Register of Deeds Office per year, verifying legal descriptions and determining the land to be transferred. The office also processes about 1000 land divisions, plats, condominiums and combinations per year. Advise drafting attorney, abstractor or surveyor of any errors in legal descriptions or chain of title on documents of transfer.

The office is responsible for maintaining current computer records of property owners name, mailing address, legal description, fire number, volume and page of transfers, land class codes, district codes, parcel history, acres, map page numbers, condominium or plat codes, comments, geolocation number, assessed values, mill rates and special assessments on all 41,000 real estate and personal property parcels in the County.

The Real Property Lister budgets for and oversees the monumentation program, as well as files all monumentation records and field notes. Also budget for and oversee the GPS Control contract. Door County does not have a County Surveyor, so our office is the designated as the County Surveyors Office and we image & computer catalogue all plat of surveys and monumentation points. The orginal plat of survey is filed in our office and the image can be retrieved and printed at a reduced size for public use. The office is the “Designee” for state mailings; we budget for and purchase all assessors and clerk supplies needed for tax and assessment purposes.

Our office is responsible for all maintenance related to the parcel maps, which would include mapping land divisions using AutoCAD, changing dimensions, acreage, parcel numbers, etc. Create the ArcCad coverage of the municipal polygons and import the coverage into ArcView then link the coverage to the AS400 database and create a shape file for use in the GIS Network and the County WebMap.
