If you have a specific use in mind for land near Combined Locks, pull up the Kimberly zoning map early: the zoning district decides setbacks, lot size and uses. Covered here for Kimberly: who controls zoning for a given parcel, matching a lot to its zoning district, and what to ask the planning staff.
Which office controls the Kimberly zoning map
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, which means a parcel in Kimberly follows that code. Past the city line, around Combined Locks, county rules apply where they exist; confirm with the county office. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: check the municipal limits layer on the Outagamie County ArcGIS parcel map.
The viewer Outagamie County publishes
Your first stop is the Outagamie County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each assessed parcel in the county, Greenville included. For a home near Little Chute, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage around Black Creek, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
What to ask before you buy
Have the parcel ID ready and describe the plan for the lot near Black Creek; staff can point to the right section of the ordinance. Also ask whether the lot near Hortonville is a legal lot of record, since some older splits don't.
City limits and county records
The town is part of the county, and the county assessor maps its lots, at least around Black Creek. With a lot near Dale, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the town limits out by Combined Locks often falls under county rules instead.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Little Chute, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Little Chute with its ID keeps working without signal.
Neighboring parcel maps
Outagamie County borders Brown County, Calumet County, Shawano County, Waupaca County, and Winnebago County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Little Chute can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. Closer to Little Chute, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map across Wisconsin.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Hortonville. If the land is near Little Chute, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Building permits and inspections
Once zoning clears a project near Combined Locks, you still need building permits and inspections; septic or sewer and driveway access are often reviewed too.
Matching a lot to the Kimberly zoning map
Look up the lot on the Outagamie County ArcGIS parcel map first, copy its parcel ID, and match it to the adopted zoning map. For land near Combined Locks, district codes like R-1, C-2 or A-1 aren't self-explanatory, so read the ordinance chapter for each; the letters vary from place to place.

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.
