Property Listing

The Property Listing office is responsible for preparing and maintaining accurate ownership and description information for all parcels located in Dodge County.  These parcels are an amalgamation of information obtained from the County Register of Deeds and Survey offices, along with several other resources, such as Department of Natural Resources (MFL Land), Department of Revenue (Manufacturing), Department of Administration (Annexations), Department of Transportation (Road Right-of-Way), Department of Public Instruction (School District Boundaries), and Department of Financial Institutions (Business Names/Ownership).  The parcel record data is consumed by County offices as well as state and local government, assessors, title companies, realtors, surveyors, clerks, landowners, taxpayers, and many more.

The Property Listing office is also responsible for updating and maintaining all layers comprising the tax parcel map. The tax parcel map is a visualization of the tax parcels and is updated daily to reflect changes in parcel geometry.

• Assist in maintenance of Address Management System.
• Assist with development and maintenance of countywide geographical information system (GIS).
