This metadata is a collection of information regarding various layers. These are listed below in the following order. Parcels, taxes, PLSS, Soils, Zoning, and Contours Langlade County Wisconsin Ownership Map: Tax Parcels File Geodatabase Feature Class Tags GIS, Property, Tax Parcels, Ownership, Langlade County Summary The main purpose of the Langlade County Web Portal is to display a variety of data to each parcel. Parcel Description This product is a compilation of cadastral data from many sources with varying degress of accuracy. These sources include, but are not limited to, U.S. General Land Office survey notes, deeds, plats, survey maps, easements, survey notes from land surveyors, town road records and right-of-way plats. Included and critical to the list is a County Surveyors office which has existed in one form or another since 1882. The maps are different scales and were made on dates ranging from the early 1800's to the present. Deeds and other written documentation date from the mid 1800's to the present. Survey practices were used to construct the frame work and are followed where interpretation of information was required. In 2016 and 2017 as part of a statewide benchmark some of the exterior framework of the county was surveyed again to improve accuracy and identify areas where monumentation required replacement or correction. Ongoing surveying activity is used to update parcel map accuracy. This product is intended to provide a representation of the shape and location of tax parcels and is suitable for the intended use. Maintenance and Update Frequency: Once a year the Real Property Lister goes through the splits and changes to land ownership within the entire county. Besides those annual updates done around January - February there are monthly updates sent to our online vendor for the Parcel Layer. During certain parts of the year updates are done weekly.

These maps are intended to be advisory and are NOT designed or intended to be used as a substitute for an accurate field survey, as performed by a Registered Land Surveyor, to determine precise property location.

The website Report pulls up the most current year, with others available on top as links underneath Change Tax Year. The Report consists of Owner(s), Property Information - including Parcel ID number, Property Description, Deed Information, Tax Information, Land Valution, Installments, and Payment History are included in that generated report. Update Frequency: This is an automated system which runs M-F from Langlade County to our vendor in Eau Claire. PLSS Description This information is collected by a certified Surveyor using a GPS system to mark each corner. Tie sheets are created for each one of those corners to help identify its unique location. These documents are being placed in various online formats. Update Frequency: Maintained by County Surveyor on a continual basis until 100% completion. Updated to online formats as needed. Soils Description The USDA Soil Survey of Langlade County was used as a GIS layer. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1983. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1984. Since that time small pockets of soils may have changed but this still holds for the vast majority of the county. In terms of our Langlade County GIS website, additional verbage was added in 2020 to the right of each soil designation to indiciate what the technical term for each soil type is. Update Frequency: Considered a static layer Zoning Description Original Zoning Boundaries for Langlade County, WI were derived from older paper maps updated annually by the Zoning Office. One of the first digital layers was completed in October 2013 by the North Central Regional Planning Commission. (NCWRPC). That digital layer is a compilation of older records, information and data and is intended for reference purposes only. *An important note* The Zoning Maps were completed first by hand and then digitally a number of years prior to the full parcel digital map was in place December 2017. Update Frequency: New Zoning Amendments since 2017 are added at roughly a seasonal pace. Contours Description In cartography, a contour line joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. A contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes. These layers are taken from a LIDAR flight delivered in 2018. They are provided here as one of the deliverables of that project. The degree of accuracy of that product is required to be within 10 centimeters.
