Shorewood is an incorporated village in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, with an estimated population of 13,521 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 1.6 square miles of land. That is down about 333 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Shorewood Village Office
Shorewood's own village government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the village clerk under Wisconsin's Public Records Law. In Wisconsin, the village clerk also runs local elections and voter registration. Birth and death certificates, marriage records, deeds and court files are generally kept by county and state offices rather than by the village; see the offices below.
