What is the Parcel Identification Number(s) (PINs)?
The parcel identification number (PIN) is a unique number which geographically references land divisions. The PIN number is used to identify the location of a tract of land in Wisconsin and the world. PIN numbers facilitate the storage, manipulation, and retrieval of land related information including ownership, taxes, assessments, zoning, electronic mapping and various other databases. All 72 counties and many larger cities have parcel identification numbers. Although there is not a statewide”standard” parcel identification number most counties and cities use PIN numbers that are geographic in nature. For information on Kenosha County parcel identification numbers go to Kenosha County Parcel Numbering System (pdf).
