What the Buffalo County records include
Counties fill in the statewide schema differently. This is how complete Buffalo County’s 2025 records are:
| Field | Filled in |
|---|---|
| Owner name | 99.3% of parcels |
| Site (street) address | 30.1% of parcels |
| Assessed or estimated value | 84.3% of parcels |
| Assessed or deeded acres | 95.8% of parcels |
| Net property tax | 84.3% of parcels |
Only 30.1% of parcels have a street address, which is normal for rural land: fields and woods often have no house number. Search by owner name or parcel ID to find those.

Deer season: public land and Managed Forest Law
The tax roll marks parcels that are government-owned or enrolled in Wisconsin’s forest tax programs. In Buffalo County:
- Federal-owned: 13,890 acres in 271 parcels
- State-owned: 14,980 acres in 485 parcels
- County-owned: 276 acres in 182 parcels
- Managed Forest Law, open to public hunting, fishing, hiking, sightseeing and cross-country skiing: 100 acres in 3 parcels
- Managed Forest Law, closed (no public access without permission): 129,065 acres
In WI 2026, color the map by Auxiliary Class of Property to see these parcels, and tap one for the owner and acreage. The acreages are whole-parcel areas from the tax roll: a parcel that is only partly enrolled counts in full, and the tax roll doesn’t show posted areas or access routes. Before you hunt, check the DNR’s map of private forest land open to the public and the signs on the ground.

Where the data comes from

It is a snapshot, not a live feed: for a sale, a survey or a tax question, check with Buffalo County directly.
