When The Taxes Go Unpaid
Wis. Stat. 75.01 — redemption until a tax deed is recorded, in partial payments of not less than $20
Until the tax deed is recorded. Any person may redeem land described in a tax certificate before a tax deed based on it is recorded, by paying the county treasurer the unpaid taxes with the interest, penalty and other charges authorized by law. A redemption before recording makes the tax deed void as to the land redeemed.
Partial payments. Redemption may be made in partial payments of not less than $20, unless the county treasurer agrees to accept a smaller amount. Partial payments do not extend the period of redemption.
What the redemption amount includes, the notices that must be given, and what happens to any money left after a sale are set out in other sections that are not on this page. Whether a particular property can still be redeemed is a question for a licensed Wisconsin attorney.
