| About the Register of Deeds office: In September 1998 the Abstract Listing Office was merged with the Register of Deeds Office. The merger reduced expenses by eliminating one full time position and combined two systems tracking land into a single state of the art system. In 2003 we recorded 120,146 real estate documents, a record setting year for Brown County. A new document management system called I-Doc XF was installed in August 2003 which allows real estate information and images to be searched over the Internet immediately following receipt. For more information on searching our land records on the Internet visit our web page at www.co.brown.wi.us/rod. In 2003 another record was set when we recorded our two-millionth document. This milestone is especially significant considering it took 163 years to record the first million and just 20 years to record the second million. Our permanent staff has not increased since the 1970’s; therefore we had to cut back on services for obtaining real estate services. Calls are answered between 1 and 4 p.m. daily by calling 920-448-4471. |
| About Brown County: Brown County has been called the birthplace of Wisconsin. Within its boundaries the first white man set foot in the state when Jean Nicolet stepped ashore at Red Banks in 1634. The mouth of the Fox River nourished the first religious missions and fur trading posts, and there the first permanent white settlement began with the arrival of Charles De Langlade and his family about 1765. With a population of over 230,000 residents Brown County is the fourth largest county in Wisconsin. The county seat is the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin’s third largest city and home to the world famous Green Bay Packers. Brown County which continues to grow rapidly, is comprised of two cities (Green Bay and De Pere), nine villages and 13 townships, which have a combined population of approximately 223,000 people. Brown County encompasses 525 square miles and has over 93,500 tax parcels. |
