About the Register of Deeds office:
The Columbia County Register of Deeds Office currently has 4 full
time positions. In 2006, 17,301 real estate documents were
recorded, in addition to processing birth, death, marriage
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 of real estate documents recorded begin November 1,
1987. Real estate document images begin January 1, 1998. |

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. In 2003
Columbia County had a population of 53,862. The county seat is
Portage. Columbia County is comprised of 21 townships, 10
villages and 4 cities. |
