Changes to Land Records & GIS systems

On the first week of May 2019, Brown County is transitioning from our AS/400 land records and tax system to a new system (LandNav by GCS Software).

This will affect public web sites in the following ways:

•  The old public Land Records Search page will be retired and replaced by a new GCS public web portal.  The new GCS web portal has a modern look and new capabilities.  It will be similar to the web portals used in many other counties.  The old Land Records search page should automatically redirect to the new one, although you may want to update your web bookmarks when the public URL becomes available. 

• The BrownDog GIS mapping site will not change much.  The biggest change to BrownDog will be that the parcel popup window will link to the GCS web portal for assessment, tax and other information. 

As we make these computer system upgrades, we plan to keep all sites running although we may get a little behind in data entry during the transition.

We plan have the new system completely in place by May 7, 2019.
