The voters of Taylor County elect the Register of Deeds for a four-year term. History is recorded in this county office many times each working day. Recorded are dates of births, deaths, marriages, and such vital matters as military discharges and legal changes of name. This office records conveyances of real estate, trusts, mortgages, easements and any form of transaction affecting real estate. Legal title to certain real estate is answered largely by ROD records. The abstractors of title acquire a large part of their data with respect to real estate from this office. Web access to real estate records dating April 1995 forward is available by visiting landshark.co.taylor.wi.us. Copies of school transcripts and school census records are also issued by this office.
We sincerely hope that you will find our web pages to be a valuable resource for your interactions with our office!
