Wis. Stat. § 70.25
In all assessments and tax rolls in all advertisements, certificates, papers, conveyances, or proceedings for the assessment and collection of taxes and in all related proceedings, except in tax bills, any descriptions of land that indicate the land intended with ordinary and reasonable certainty and that would be sufficient between grantor and grantee in an ordinary conveyance are sufficient. No description of land according to the United States survey is insufficient by reason of the omission of the word quarter or the figures or signs representing it in connection with the words or initial letters indicating any legal subdivision of lands according to government survey. Where a more complete description may not be practicable, and the deed or a mortgage describing any piece of real property is recorded in the office of the register of deeds for the county, an abbreviated description including the document number of the deed or mortgage or the volume and page where the deed or mortgage is recorded, and the section, village, or city where the property is situated, is sufficient. Where a more complete description may not be practicable, and the piece of property is described in any certificate, order, or judgment of a court of record in the county, an abbreviated description including the document number of the court record or the volume and page where the court record is recorded, and the section, village, or city where the property is situated, is sufficient. Descriptions in property tax bills shall be as provided under s. 74.09(3) (a).
