Marathon County, Wisconsin Government Auctions

Wisconsin is a tax deed state

Wisconsin counties take title to delinquent property through an in-rem foreclosure and then sell the tax deed parcels, while the City of Milwaukee handles its own foreclosures. Investors cannot buy Wisconsin tax certificates.

Redemption period

The owner has two years from the tax certificate date to redeem before the county forecloses; after the county takes title and sells, no redemption applies.

Interest or penalty

Not applicable — buyers purchase county- or city-owned tax-deed property, not an interest-bearing certificate.
