REAL ESTATE SALES
Various types of real estate documents recorded in the Walworth County
Register of Deeds Office are linked by the Property Listing division to

The application entitled “Real Estate Sales Search” is available
for viewing a list of those documents for a particular municipality.
The results displayed cover a one-month period beginning with the
