For a parcel in or near Hobart, a look at the Hobart GIS map gives you lines, owner names and parcel numbers. In this Hobart guide: which viewer to open, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
The official viewer behind the Hobart GIS map
On ground around De Pere, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Brown County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel around Howard and Ashwaubenon. If you're looking near Howard, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Howard, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county asks for it first.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on land around Howard. Out toward Green Bay, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the parcel map near De Pere only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near Bellevue may trace back through a long string of deeds, so a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Reading the legal description
Wisconsin is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around De Pere reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Allouez can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Ashwaubenon when you talk to a surveyor.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Ashwaubenon, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Bellevue keeps working without signal.
Hobart and the county around it
Hobart sits in Brown County, Wisconsin, and the county assessor maps its lots. With a lot near Ashwaubenon, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits out by Ashwaubenon often follows county rules instead.
Saving what you find
Save a screenshot of the lot near Howard and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Finding the right lot
Acreage around Bellevue might not have a street number, so pan the aerial and click the lot. Around Allouez, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
Places you'll see on the map
Green Bay holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Ashwaubenon, De Pere, Howard, and Allouez, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 271,417 people live in Brown County (Census estimate, 2023) across some 530 square miles. Brown County dates to 1818, and some chains of title near Ashwaubenon are long.
Beyond the parcel lines
Toggling imagery near Allouez shows roofs, driveways and tree lines next to the parcel edges.
Browser tips
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Howard, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Brown County borders Calumet County, Door County, Kewaunee County, Manitowoc County, and Oconto County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Howard can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the neighboring map as well. For a tract near Bellevue, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Wisconsin.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Green Bay go to the county real property listing office, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Allouez go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Reading a parcel record
Recent sales on nearby lots near Howard give a rough idea of values; they're not an appraisal.

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.
