Cambridge is a village in Jefferson and Dane Counties, Wisconsin. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 43.006555, -89.021412 and its land area at 1.47 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the village level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.

We have not yet collected septic documents from Jefferson County, Wisconsin, so for a Cambridge property the county's own file is currently the only route. This page is about getting you to it, not about pretending we hold something we do not. The county is genuinely mixed: 8,863 of 28,855 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Cambridge address falls on is worth establishing before anything else. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
