The official viewer behind the Cedarburg GIS map
For a home near Mequon, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
The viewer Ozaukee County publishes
Your first stop is the Ozaukee County parcel viewer; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Thiensville included. Out toward Bayside, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Out toward Bayside, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Printing and saving
Print or screenshot the parcel near Mequon with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Cedarburg and the county around it
Cedarburg is part of Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, which means parcel data comes from the county. On ground around Mequon, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits near Saukville usually 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 Bayside belong with the county real property listing office, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Mequon are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the parcel map near Mequon only summarizes it. Near Thiensville, have ready the document number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary for a parcel near Mequon. Closer to Thiensville, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Bayside, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Mequon with its ID is a good backup.
Reading the legal description
Wisconsin follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Thiensville cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Mequon can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Grafton before you request a deed or survey.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Ozaukee County meets Muskegon County, MI, Oceana County, MI, Milwaukee County, Sheboygan County, and Washington County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Saukville that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well. Closer to Bayside, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Wisconsin.
Three ways to find a parcel
By address works best for lots in Cedarburg; owner names are usually entered last name first. For acreage around Port Washington, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
Troubleshooting the viewer
