What the Vilas County records include
Counties fill in the statewide schema differently. This is how complete Vilas County’s 2025 records are:
| Field | Filled in |
|---|---|
| Owner name | 93.1% of parcels |
| Site (street) address | 52.9% of parcels |
| Assessed or estimated value | 71.3% of parcels |
| Assessed or deeded acres | 77.9% of parcels |
| Net property tax | 71.3% of parcels |
Only 52.9% 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.
How the land is classed
By mapped area, Vilas County is government-owned / county forest 44%, residential 21%, productive forest 6%, undeveloped / ag forest 3%. Another 24% is in the roll’s Other class or has no class of property at all, which is where tax-exempt land without a government owner code, such as tribal trust land, usually sits. The median estimated fair market value of a residential parcel is $290,200, across 30,663 residential parcels with a value.
In WI 2026, open the legend and color the map by Class of Property to see the same picture, or by Estimated Fair Market Value to see where values rise and fall.
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 Vilas County:
- Federal-owned: 52,969 acres in 563 parcels
- State-owned: 150,546 acres in 3,158 parcels

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.
