About the Register of Deeds office:
The Columbia County Register of Deeds Office currently has 3 full
time positions. In 2009, 17,000 real estate documents were
recorded, in addition to processing birth, death, marriage, domestic
partnership records and military discharges. The implementation of Fidlar Software in 2005 has provided the Register of Deeds office with many enhancements. The software has not only improved workflow efficiency for staff, but includes a tract index, eRecording, and on-line access to real estate records. These enhancements have not only increased productivity, but have also provided customers with alternative searching capabilities that were not accessible in the past. The indexes and images of on-line real estate documents recorded begin October 15, 1986. |

| About Columbia County: Columbia County was first organized in 1846, but long before Wisconsin history began, Columbia County was an important place to the people of early times. It is unknown how many hundreds of years ago Indians began using the Fox-Wisconsin waterway, carrying their canoes across the narrow portage between these rivers. It is known that in 1673, two Miami Indians guided French explorers, Louis Jolliet and Father Jacques Marquette to this portage. Columbia County has also been notable for honoring and respecting its women, the most famous of whom was the Pulitzer Prize winning author, Zona Gale. Columbia County is located in south-central Wisconsin and has a total land area of approximately 778 square miles. Columbia County's population is approximately 53,862. The county seat is Portage. Columbia County is comprised of 21 townships, 10 villages and 4 cities. |
