Tax Deed
Redemption (state)
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).

Statutory terms are inherited from Wisconsin. 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. 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.
