State Summary

Wisconsin is a tax deed state, but not a very good state for investors. Delinquent tax properties are foreclosed by the county and sold at market value. Not a good deal for the tax deed investor, especially considering that a non-warranty quit claim deed is issued and properties are sold “as-is.” Also the purchaser is responsible for any additional fees such as permits, soil testing and title search fees. If you are still interested in buying tax foreclosed properties in Wisconsin, you may be able to find a list of county-owned properties for sale on the county treasurer’s website. Assessment data and property maps are also available online.
