Wisconsin Real Property Listers Association

About the Office: We have GCS software. Parcel and tax information has been on the county website nearly 2 years and phone calls to our office have decreased tremendously. I work closely with Department of Land Management whose services includes county planning, zoning, uniform addresses, GIS and the surveyor. I'm linked to the Register of Deeds imaging system and to the county GIS. My duties include maintaining, updating, printing and distributing real estate and personal property assessment rolls, notice of assessments, tax rolls, tax statements, all related reports, address changes, assigning GIS pin numbers, lottery credit letters, entering special assessments and special charges on the tax roll, and supplying information for assessors, clerks, treasurers, and public regarding parcels, assessments and the tax process. Daily I make copies of documents recorded in Register of Deeds, including CSM's and plats and obtain addresses from the property transfer forms. I also order assessment, tax and assessor supplies. I assist the local treasurers with their GCS tax collection program. I'm in the treasurers office and help with July tax collections.

About the City/ County: Pierce County includes 17 townships, 5 villages and 2 cities. 2004 saw the greatest increase in activity with 2535 transfers, 122 CSM's with 183 lots, 19 plats with 314 lots and a total of 1083 parcel changes for 2005 workrolls. Our WPA maps have been digitized and of those, six townships have been updated using COGO methods. Remonumentation and updating maps is dependent upon grant monies.
