When a listing near Hobart mentions a lot number, you'll need the De Pere plat map to make sense of it. In this De Pere guide: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the De Pere plat map
For land around Ashwaubenon, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Your first stop is the Brown County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel from Bellevue to Hobart. For a tract near Allouez, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Bellevue, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Limits of the parcel data
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so the edge of a yard near Allouez can sit some distance off the line on screen. Out toward Ashwaubenon, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Allouez, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Where De Pere fits in
De Pere sits in Brown County, Wisconsin, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a tract near Hobart, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Allouez often follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Bellevue that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the Register of Deeds; the parcel map near Green Bay only summarizes it. Closer to Ashwaubenon, have ready the instrument number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Two different maps
The Brown County ArcGIS parcel map draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Land on the county line
Brown County borders Calumet County, Door County, Kewaunee County, Manitowoc County, and Oconto County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Bellevue can show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map as well. For land near Allouez, our state page links each neighboring county map for Wisconsin.
Places you'll see on the map
Green Bay is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Ashwaubenon, Allouez, Hobart, and Bellevue, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 271,417 people call Brown County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on about 530 square miles. Brown County was organized in 1818, and some chains of title near Green Bay are long.
What a plat shows
Recorded easements around Ashwaubenon can block a shed or pool; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Online indexes and office visits
On ground around Bellevue, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Hobart, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Allouez keeps working without signal.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Allouez are handled by the county real property listing office, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Hobart need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Reading the legal description
Wisconsin uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Hobart is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Allouez vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Hobart for any title or survey request.
Questions about the De Pere plat map

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.
