Buying a lot in a subdivision near Port Washington? The Saukville plat map is the document to find, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. What this Saukville guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Saukville plat map
For land around Belgium, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Ozaukee County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Cedarburg included. Out toward Grafton, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Port Washington, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Port Washington outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Cedarburg.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Belgium are kept by the Register of Deeds. With a lot near Newburg, have ready the book and page from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
On ground around Grafton, Ozaukee County meets Muskegon County, MI, Oceana County, MI, Milwaukee County, Sheboygan County, and Washington County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Belgium may show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For property near Port Washington, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Wisconsin.
How land is described here
Wisconsin follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Belgium cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Belgium can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Belgium for any title or survey request.
Saukville and the county around it
Saukville sits in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a parcel near Belgium, 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 town limits near Belgium often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Belgium are handled by the county real property listing office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Belgium go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Two different maps
If the tax map and plat differ near Grafton, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.
What the map can't tell you
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so the edge of a yard near Fredonia can sit a few yards off the line on screen. For land near Grafton, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Amended plats
Lots near Cedarburg can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Newburg show up in the records too.
What a plat shows
Recorded easements around Cedarburg stay with the land when it sells; check the plat notes and any covenants.

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.
