How to use the tool

Enter a Parcel Number (PIN) or Address into the search bar located within the search tab on the lefthand side. If the search is successful, one or more street addresses and PIN(s) will be displayed. Click "Zoom To" underneath each record to zoom to its location on the map. The selected parcel will be highlighted in white. If you'd like to view the parcel with a different background, click the icon on the left containing four squares labeled "Basemaps".

If recent sales data exists for the selected parcel, it will be highlighted in either green, yellow, or red. A parcel with one or more "Typical" sales will be shaded green, even if the property also has "Compulsory" or "Non Typical" sales. If there are no "Typical" sales but there are "Compulsory" sales, the parcel will be shaded yellow. If there are not any "Typical" sales or "Compulsory" sales but there are "Non Typical" sales, the parcel will be shaded red.

Clicking on any parcel will switch the "Search" tab to the "Details" tab. The details tab will contain information about the parcel you selected. If the area you clicked on has more than one parcel within it (condominiums, for example), there will be a navigation bar on top of the detail tab that can be used to access details on all the units included. On the right of the navigation bar, you can click the "List" icon to view a list of all returned records from your click. If all of the records returned are of the type "Parcels", your click only returned normal parcel records, and there were no sales records where you clicked.

Background

The Sale Locator Tool was developed to provide interested parties the ability to easily check on sales activity of single family properties in Winnebago County. The search tool displays data for single family, including condominium sales in Winnebago County. Sale details are based on information recorded on Real Estate Transfer Declarations. Sale prices reflect the recorded net consideration for real estate after personal property has been deducted.

The Sale Locator Tool does not measure comparability of the sales to other sales or to any other property. Any determination of comparability would need to be made by other means. The tool only locates sales and displays sale information and some quick facts about the property that sold.

Various types of sale transactions are grouped and shaded according to their assigned group as determined by the Winnebago County Board of Review. The group names, descriptions, and color codings are described in the sidebar to the right.
