Assessor
The Assessor is charged with several administrative and statutory duties. The primary duty and responsibility is to value & classify all real property within the Assessor's jurisdiction except that which is otherwise provided by law. This would include residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural classes of property.
Summer/Fall 2026 Property Review
The Assessor’s office will be reviewing property and taking new photos in the city of Buffalo Center and the townships of Lincoln, Eden, Logan & Norway this summer. Typically, there will be two staff members taking pictures and because trees are in full foliage now, they will likely need to drive up into building sites. They will be driving a 2016 Ford F-150 Gray Crew Cab with stickers on the doors identifying them as the Winnebago County Assessor’s office. Local law enforcement has been notified that we will be in those areas.
Please feel free to call the Assessor’s office to notify us of any changes to your property or to simply verify the data that we have on record. Property data for each property can be viewed by clicking on the blue Property Search (Beacon) button above. Once you find your property on the Beacon site, go to the Parcel Report tab and click on the blue Data Correction Form to send us any changes that need to be made. See example
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
