Taylor County, WI Property Records & Statistics
Taylor County has a median rent of $690.50, below the Wisconsin median of $814 and the national median of $840.25. Renters here pay noticeably less each month than the typical renter in the state or the country. Renter-occupied housing makes up 15.38% of occupied homes, compared with 18.62% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so homeownership is the norm and the rental market is comparatively small.
The median home value is $161,500, under both the state figure of $194,600 and the national median of $173,750. Buying in Taylor County is therefore more affordable than in most of Wisconsin, though the property tax burden pushes the other way: the county's median property tax rate of 1.52% is above the state rate of 1.47% and roughly double the national rate of 0.74%.
Median household income is $59,850, lower than Wisconsin's $67,963.50 and the national $65,108, which helps explain the lower rents and home prices. The unemployment rate of 2.02% is slightly higher than the state's 1.86% but well under the national 2.87%, pointing to a job market that remains fairly tight.
Overall, the numbers describe an affordable, owner-dominated county where low housing costs are partly offset by higher-than-average property taxes and incomes that trail the state.

Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what happened to a mortgage after it was recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
Taylor County has 35,689 assignment and release records on file. They include 1,710 assignment documents, 33,865 release documents, and 114 other documents. Assignments were recorded from August 5, 2000, to August 28, 2025, and releases from September 3, 2000, to August 28, 2025.
These records are useful in property research because they let buyers, owners, and title researchers trace a loan through its lenders and confirm that earlier mortgages were satisfied. A mortgage with no recorded release may still be open, which is worth knowing before a sale or refinance. The long date range also supports research into a property's financing history going back to the early 2000s.
