Kenosha County

Land Information

The Land Information Office of Kenosha County was created in accordance to Chapter 59.72(3) of the Wisconsin State Statutes. The principal function of the office is to interpret legal descriptions on recorded documents and make the necessary changes to the real estate assessment roll for assessment and taxation purposes. The information maintained is used to generate assessment notices and tax bills. The functions of the office are directed through Chapter 70.09 of the Wisconsin State Statues.

Additional duties include address assignment for all Town properties per Chapter 6 of the Kenosha County Municipal Code, housing and indexing surveys required to be filed by Surveyors per State Statute 59.45(1)(b), and supplying land division data for updating computerized mapping.

The information changed is reflected on the property inquiry and interactive mapping applications on the Kenosha County web site. The information is utilized by the public, appraisers, attorneys, surveyors and other land professionals.

 

Redistricting

Kenosha County Supervisory Districts are redistricted every ten years after the Census numbers are released in order to ensure equal representation for all residents.  Land Information has developed three alternatives for district maps -- in each alternative, there are as close as possible to 7,236 residents in every district.  (166,426 county residents / 23 supervisory districts = 7,235.9 residents per district.)
