Licensed Land Surveyors in Brown County
Brown County is home to Green Bay, Wisconsin's third-largest city, along with established communities including De Pere, Ashwaubenon, Howard, Allouez, Bellevue, and Wrightstown. The county's mix of urban, suburban, and rural land, plus its Fox River and bay shoreline, creates a range of survey project types that the county's licensed Professional Land Surveyors handle regularly.
Wisconsin requires all land surveyors to hold a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) credential from the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). All surveyors in our Brown County directory are sourced from DSPS licensing records.
What Brown County Surveyors Know
Surveyors who work regularly in Brown County understand the local land record system at the Register of Deeds, the specific patterns of Green Bay's older urban plats, and the complexities that come with Fox River and bay shoreline boundaries. De Pere, which sits directly on the Fox River with a long history of riverfront development, has properties that require careful review of historical plats and water boundary law.
The growing suburban areas in Howard, Ashwaubenon, and Bellevue have more recent subdivision plats that are straightforward to work with, while Green Bay's established neighborhoods and some industrial areas near the bay shore require more historical research.
