County to consider appeal over $1,000 fee for full assessing/GIS dataset

May 20, 2026

A resident requester from Wisconsin has appealed the county's $1,000 fee for enhanced assessing and GIS data. County staff say the data is viewable online but the requester seeks a full electronic data package; the appeal is scheduled for the next meeting and county counsel has been consulted.

The Gratiot County administrator told commissioners the county has received an appeal from a requestor, Justin Meyers of Superior, Wisconsin, seeking the county's full assessing, mapping and planning datasets in an electronic format. Meyers asked for the material under FOIA; county practice and a recent policy segregate that enhanced dataset and impose a $1,000 fee for electronic delivery.
