Sauk CountyEasements are limitations on the rights and use of the land. Legally an encumbrance is a right or interest in the land of another that may diminish its value but does not prevent its sale. Most encumbrances run with the land (consistent with the passing of the fee by conveyance). That is, they are tied to the land and will persist from owner to owner. Others exist at the pleasure of the owner, such as leases. Typically leases and similar encumbrances have an effective date and expiration date. As a practice Sauk County did not capture all easements due to software space limitations and clutter on the maps. It was the sole discretion of the Real Property Lister to decide which easements would be captured. In 2015 Sauk County decided to capture all easements going forward. There are some easements after 2015 that do not have a complete description to physically draw the Easement, so in those cases an Easement Anno is captured noting the document number recorded at the county.ArcGIS DynamicMapLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/0134c466c4cf49d78d1cf975ac71f568_0engSauk County GIS DownloadPublicEasements [Wisconsin--Sauk County]Web servicesWisconsin--Sauk CountyWisconsinLast Modified: 2024-05-09
