Register of Deeds

Welcome to the Brown County Register of Deeds office. The Register of Deeds office is the primary records office of the county, and is also one of the departments that generates revenue for the county from filing and recording fees, transfer and copy fees, and vital record fees. 

Human Resources

The Human Resources Department serves the County in three broad functional areas:

  • Direct support to the County Commission.

Support to the County Commission involves such activities as ongoing maintenance of the classification system and pay scale, position control, reduction of potential EEO and affirmative action liabilities, research and recommendations regarding issues that affect personnel, and maintaining comprehensive personnel records.

Veterans Service Office

The Brown County Veterans Service acts as an advocate and provides assistance to military veterans and their dependents in determining eligibility and applying for various federal and state benefits, such as service-connected compensation, non-service connected pension, outpatient and hospital medical treatment, guaranteed home loan certificates, education and on-the-job training benefits, burial benefits, survivor benefits, referral information, as well as many others.

Brown County Fairgrounds

No matter the time of year, there seems to always be activity at the fairgrounds. Throughout the summer there are lots of activities with car races and, of course, the Brown County Fair. In the winter, while many of the buildings are used for storage, the Holum Expo Building is quite busy with Hockey, the annual Bull-a-Rama, and shows like the annual Liebelt's camper show. It's a busy place, all year long!
