The goal of the Land Information Office is to establish a county-wide land information system dedicated to serving the information needs of our community. This will involve the sharing of data and the pooling of resources to process land-related information. These efforts will improve the accessibility of land-related information and provide a means to compare and analyze data as part of the business of Buffalo County. These efforts will include developing new applications for county government and educating the public and private sectors about modernized Buffalo County land information systems for the benefit of the entire Buffalo County community.

The Buffalo County Land Information Office (LIO) was created in 1990 as a result of state legislation to encourage modernization of land-related information. The LIO is funded by a fee charged when land related documents are filed in the Register of Deeds office. The LIO may also apply for grants from the Wisconsin Land Information Board, also funded by fees collected at the Register of Deeds office. The Buffalo County Land Information Committee is chaired by the Land Information Officer, and includes following representatives: the Zoning Administrator, the Land Conservationist, the Treasurer, the Register of Deeds, the County Surveyor, the Highway Commissioner, the Sheriff or appointed designee, Emergency Management Director, County Administrator, a designated member from the Finance Committee, and the County Board Chair or their appointed designee .

The Land Information Office has developed a county-wide plan for modernizing land-related information. This plan has been approved by the Buffalo County Board of Supervisors and the Wisconsin Land Information Board. A number of projects have been completed in Buffalo County, as part of activities leading up to establishment of the LIO, ongoing county automation efforts, and as result of the state-wide program. Additional projects are underway or planned.
