We have three options available to obtain land record document copies for real property located in Waukesha County. Before choosing the option that works best for you, please review the following guidelines carefully:
- You must provide specific information necessary to process your request (i.e. document number, volume/page, reel/image, etc.). If you have a property's address or tax key number, we can show you how to get started and search the records yourself, but we cannot perform searches for you.
- We DO NOT perform title searches on properties. Search requests for all or specific deeds, all or specific liens on a property, or other related documents throughout a property's history constitute a title search and will not be fulfilled. For requests of this nature, you can contact a professional title company.
- The Register of Deeds office cannot provide legal advice. If you need assistance drafting or interpreting legal documents, you can contact a Real Estate Attorney, Title Company, or the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Lawyer Referral Service (https://www.wisbar.org/forPublic/INeedaLawyer/Pages/i-need-a-lawyer.aspx or call 1-800-362-9082).
