About the Register of Deeds office In March 1999 Dodge County implemented a computerized document imaging and tracting system. In 2003 our office recorded a record setting 36,489 real estate documents and also hit a milestone of 1 million documents. We currently are working on imaging the paper real estate documents from 1877 thru 1974 and hope to soon convert the 1974 thru 1998 microfilm records to computerized images also. In March 2005 we will be installing a new grantor/grantee and tracting index which will enable us to offer searching via the internet later in the year.

The staff in the office consists of 3 full time and 2 part time employees. All documents are recorded the same day they are received and returned in 2 days. Vital records requests are mailed the same day they are received.

About Dodge County:  Dodge County was created in 1836 and named in honor of Henry Dodge, then territorial governor of Wisconsin. Final boundaries were established in 1840. The first Court House was built in 1848 by Martin Rich in the Town of Victory, Dodge Centre, which is now the City of Juneau. Dodge County has a population of 85,897, covers 892 square miles, has approx. 47,420 parcels of land and is comprised of 24 townships, 11 villages, and 9 cities.

Dodge County is home to the Horicon Marsh, a national and state wildlife area. Dodge County operates six parks year round. The Wild Goose State Trail is a 34 mile compacted limestone trail on an abandoned railroad grade that runs from the City of Juneau to the City of Fond du Lac. Wildlife, scenery and level surface provide safe, easy and enjoyable biking and hiking for all ages. The trail skirts the western edge of the Horicon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge and Nitschke Mounds Park which contains up to 46 animal effigy, conical and linear mounds believed to have been constructed around 800AD - 1100AD. The mounds represent one of the best surviving examples of the Mound Builders culture that once occupied the Dodge County area. Park development is expected to be completed in phases.
