WI Municipal Wards (July 2025)

Wisconsin municipal ward data collected in July 2025 by LTSB. [Attribute Definitions]. This data has been collected in regards to state statute 15(4)(br)1. County clerks will transmit municipal, municipal ward, and county supervisory districts in GIS format to LTSB by January 15th and July 15th* per statute 5.15(4)(br)1: Municipal clerks need to notify the county clerk within 5 days of any boundary change per statute 5.15(4)(b): Municipal data collected in the January collections will be used by LTSB to update municipal boundaries the U.S. Census Bureau’s TIGER database via the Boundary Annexation Survey (BAS). Counties and municipalities are no longer required to submit boundary changes directly to the Census Bureau. LTSB will submit data to the Census Bureau for the state as a whole. Section 13.96(1)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes requires LTSB to “upon receipt of municipal boundary information at each reporting interval, reconcile and compile the information received to produce a statewide data base consisting of municipal boundary information for the entire state”. Section 13.96(1)(c) states that LTSB shall “Participate, on behalf of this state, in geographic boundary information programs when offered by the U.S. bureau of the census”. LTSB will publish Municipal Wards, Municipal Boundaries (cities, towns, villages), and County Supervisory Districts to the LTSB HUB Data Portal. This data has been collected with the LTSB GeoData Collector.

本数据集为2025年7月由LTSB采集的威斯康星州市政选区数据。[属性定义]。本次数据采集依据威斯康星州法规第15(4)(br)1项开展。
根据威斯康星州法规第5.15(4)(br)1条要求，各郡书记员需于每年1月15日及7月15日*向LTSB提交GIS格式的市政、市政选区及郡监督选区数据。
依据威斯康星州法规第5.15(4)(b)条，市政书记员需在辖区边界发生变更后的5个工作日内通知郡书记员。
1月采集的市政数据将由LTSB通过边界吞并调查（Boundary Annexation Survey, BAS）程序，用于更新美国人口普查局（U.S. Census Bureau）的TIGER数据库中的市政边界信息。目前郡与市政单位无需直接向美国人口普查局提交边界变更数据，LTSB将代表全州向该局提交相关数据。
威斯康星州法规第13.96(1)(b)条要求LTSB“在每次报告周期收到市政边界信息后，对所接收信息进行核对与汇编，以生成覆盖全州范围的市政边界信息数据库”。
威斯康星州法规第13.96(1)(c)条规定，LTSB需“代表本州参与美国人口普查局提供的地理边界信息相关项目”。
LTSB将在其枢纽数据门户（LTSB HUB Data Portal）发布市政选区、市政边界（含市、镇、村）及郡监督选区数据。
本数据集通过LTSB地理数据采集工具（LTSB GeoData Collector）采集完成。
