Property records in Trempealeau County, WI, are managed by the  Register of Deeds. Since the mid-1800s, the Register's office has overseen the recording and safekeeping various realty-related documents, such as plats, liens, deeds, survey maps, mortgages, and leases.

Before they are stored in various databases, all property documents are indexed by names involved, date of recording, legal descriptions, book/page, and record type. Through the  DirectSearch platform, anyone can freely look for property records' indexing information online. If viewing the actual image of the document is required, one can utilize  Tapestry and  Laredo systems and pay the indicated charges.

The Tapestry program offers fee-based access designed for occasional users. Meanwhile, the Laredo system is better suited for frequent users. However, this program requires an account registration and a  contract with the Register of Deeds. Both platforms enclose tract index from 1994, grantor/grantee from 1990, liens beginning in 2004, and document images from the late 1800s.

If inclined to a more direct approach, public access terminals are available in the Register of Deeds office inside the County Courthouse in Whitehall, WI, free of charge during regular office hours.

Fees are applied for every copy of property document obtained from the Register's office. Uncertified copies cost $2 for the first page and $1 for each succeeding page. One must pay an additional $1 fee per certification if a certified copy is required.

Zoning information of properties reflected in the County Clerk records can be verified by contacting the  Department of Land Management at (715) 538-2311 ext. 223. The department oversees the administration of county land management plans, programs, and activities, including enforcing land use and zoning ordinances.
