Notes
Wisconsin in-rem tax foreclosure / tax-deed county. As of Jan 1, 2023, Eau Claire County Treasurer directly handles the tax deed, in-rem process, and sale of delinquent properties. Auctions are periodic as parcels complete foreclosure; recent bidding windows ran multi-week periods (e.g. mid-July to early August). Announcements in the Leader-Telegram and on the Tax Delinquent Property page. Confirm current online platform and terms with Treasurer when a window opens. Judgment of foreclosure is the primary title-clearing step.

Wis. Stat. § 70.32(1) requires real property to be valued at the full value which could ordinarily be obtained at private sale, and § 70.05(5)(b) requires each taxation district to assess at full value at least once in every 5-year period. The Department of Revenue computes the actual assessed-to-full-value ratio for every district annually under § 70.05(5)(c) and notifies districts that drift more than 10% off over four years.
