A potential approach to increased DOHE membership

By: John Martin

The Dubuque County Assessor's website has a feature that allows you to select a group of houses by various criteria.
I used it to retrieve all 1663 residences built between 1830 (the oldest) and 1899.

The information is organized into 4 lists:
A website sorted by date built
A Spreadsheet of the same information
A website sorted by street address
A spreadsheet of the info in address order

It is possible to build a mailing list and print labels from the spreadsheets if we wanted to try a membership drive.
It is also possible to use the information in identifying prospects for future house tours.

Clicking on the LOOKUP item in the first column will bring up the Assessor's information for that home.
All of this information is, by law, public but carries the usual caveats from the Assessor regarding accuracy
