When a deed near Bellevue says lot and block, you'll need the Hobart plat map to make sense of it. This Hobart guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Who keeps the Hobart plat map
For a lot in Hobart, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Brown County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel around Green Bay and Howard. On ground around Ashwaubenon, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Out toward Bellevue, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Howard, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Howard with its ID is a good backup.
Legal descriptions in Wisconsin
Wisconsin is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Bellevue is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near De Pere can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near De Pere before you request a deed or survey.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed through the Register of Deeds; the parcel map near De Pere only summarizes it. Older tracts around Ashwaubenon may sit on a long string of deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Brown County in a few facts
Green Bay is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Ashwaubenon, De Pere, Howard, and Allouez. Roughly 271,417 people live in Brown County (Census estimate, 2023) on roughly 530 square miles. Brown County dates to 1818, and some chains of title near De Pere are long.
Where Hobart fits in
Hobart sits in Brown County, Wisconsin, which means parcel data comes from the county. For a home near Howard, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Ashwaubenon generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
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 Ashwaubenon can be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. Around Allouez, the Platbookmapper state page links every bordering county map across Wisconsin.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Bellevue outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
When the two disagree for a lot near Bellevue, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.
Details on the Hobart plat map
Easements on the plat near De Pere can block a shed or pool; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Allouez looks off go to the county real property listing office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Ashwaubenon go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Requesting the plat
For acreage around Allouez, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near De Pere. In and around Ashwaubenon, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around De Pere, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.

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.
