Program/Service Description:
The Register of Deeds Department fulfills its mission by accomplishing necessary activities in four areas: document reception and real estate, UCC lien searches, electronic records storage, and vital statistics. The department records and/or files and indexes: all documents that affect ownership of real estate, informal probate, corporation papers, change of names, power of attorney, federal tax liens, plats, certified survey maps, personal property liens, and other miscellaneous instruments. During 2007, over 54,000 land-related documents were recorded and/or filed. The department also maintains a tract index, an accurate listing by geographic location of all recorded/filed documents that affect land interest and ownership for the efficient retrieval of land ownership related information for any of the over 98,000 parcels of land in Brown County. Using optical imaging technology, the department scans all real estate and vital records documents into an electronic format for permanent storage and retrieval. During 2007, approximately 54,000 documents (231,241 pages) were scanned and stored electronically. Brown County's vital statistics are filed by the Register of Deeds to include all births, deaths and marriages. During 2007, 5,074 births, 2,045 deaths, and 1,535 marriages were filed. The vital statistics section also files and records military discharge records for veterans. During 2007, 221 veterans filed discharge records. A total of 92,567 records were handled in 2007, 9,240 more than in 2006.
