Can I buy a property with delinquent taxes in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin runs county-owned tax-deeded property resale sales. The county — not a private buyer — holds the tax certificate and takes the deed under §75.14; investors cannot buy liens and can only later purchase surplus real estate the county already acquired and resells. The redemption period is Approximately 2 years (redemption period tied to the county tax certificate under ch. 74/75; in-rem foreclosure under §75.521 uses a ~2-year redemption before the county forecloses)., and the investor return is n/a — Wisconsin does not sell tax liens/certificates to private investors; counties take the tax deed themselves, so there is no investor redemption interest or penalty to earn..
What is the lowest opening bid on the Wisconsin list?
The lowest opening bid on the current Wisconsin list is $300. Opening bids are the county's figure (taxes, interest and costs owed), not the property's value.
