When a deed near Green Bay says lot and block, look up the Bellevue plat map it refers to. This Bellevue guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Bellevue plat map
For a lot in Bellevue, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
The free map to start with
Begin with the Brown County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each tax parcel around Ashwaubenon and Denmark. For acreage around Allouez, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. If you're looking near Denmark, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary for a parcel near Howard. If you're looking near Denmark, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Replats and vacations
Lots near De Pere can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Allouez show up in the records too.
Bellevue and the county around it
Bellevue lies within Brown County, Wisconsin, so its parcels are on the county's map. If the land is near Denmark, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the city limits toward Denmark generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near De Pere belong with the county real property listing office, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Denmark are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Green Bay sit with the Register of Deeds. Older tracts near De Pere may sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Two different maps
When the two disagree for a lot near De Pere, the recorded plat and a survey control.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Ashwaubenon, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Denmark with its ID keeps working without signal.
Lots, blocks and easements
Easements on the plat near Denmark limit where you can build or fence; read the notes on the sheet.
Places you'll see on the map
Green Bay is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Allouez, De Pere, and Ashwaubenon, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 271,417 people call Brown County home (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 530 square miles. Brown County was organized in 1818, and some chains of title near De Pere are long.
Next door to Brown County
Brown County touches Calumet County, Door County, Kewaunee County, Manitowoc County, and Oconto County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Allouez can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. For a tract near De Pere, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Wisconsin.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Denmark outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
How land is described here
Wisconsin follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Allouez reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Denmark vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Howard when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting a copy
Near De Pere, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
