Here you'll track down the Brown County search by name, address or parcel ID, what the owner and mailing fields really say, and how the recorded deed confirms the name.
How to use the Brown County property owner search
Start the Brown County property owner search on the Brown County ArcGIS parcel map and paste a parcel number if a Brown County tax bill lists one, or simply click the ground you're curious about near Anston.

Getting oriented in Brown County, WI
From Green Bay, the seat of the county, the map spreads out to De Pere, Allouez, Ashwaubenon, and Bellevue. Smaller places such as Dyckesville, Anston, and Askeaton appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Roughly 530 square miles of land and about 271,417 residents (2023 estimate) make up Brown County. Much of Brown County is built out, so most clicks near De Pere land on platted lots. Brown County was organized in 1818, so deeds for older farms near Ashwaubenon can run back a long way.
Proof of ownership vs. the tax record
The parcel map is a tax record, so proof of ownership in Brown County is the recorded deed. A deed book and page or instrument number on the record near Greenleaf is the shortcut.
Reaching an owner the right way
If you want to contact a county owner, a brief note sent to the address on the record most commonly works best, since the owner of rural ground near Allouez may live far away. Keep the note specific: who you are, what you want with the land near Anston, and when you're available.
