Are the Racine County property lines accurate?
On rural tracts near Bohners Lake, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Legal descriptions in Wisconsin usually lean on the section grid, so learning to read 'NE 1/4 of Section 12' pays off quickly around North Bay. If a neighbor's fence near Caledonia and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Where Racine County deeds and plats are kept
Need a deed for land near Bohners Lake? In Wisconsin that means the Register of Deeds; the parcel map is the index that points you there. In Wisconsin each county Register of Deeds, including the one in Racine County, records and indexes real estate documents. When the chain of title matters for land near Mount Pleasant, ask for the full deed history or hire a title company in Wisconsin.
